The Way It Once Seemed

Kathy I think you should open that door
Kathy I don't think he wants you any more
Kathy I think you should close out that dream
I don't think he loves you the way it once seemed

You once had a hope that he'd see the way
To hold you and keep you and love you each day
But times change and years pass and people grow, too
I don't think he offers a future to you

(chorus)

You shared and you gambled and laid a foundation of
A carefully-built structure, a haven for love
But you know that a home needs more than just windows
And I don't think his visits brought doors that weren't closed

(chorus)

(brief instrumental)

I don't think he loves you the way it once seemed

It's been seasons and years now since he went away
And for reasons your fears won't let you have a day
I think you might be ready to unfurl your wings
I think you've got the eyes now to see better things

(chorus)

I think you might be ready to loosen your pen
I think you've got the vision to love better men
