Deborah Sachs: words & music

For a while everything was easy. For a while I thought you cared.
For the first time in my life I gave my heart away. Maybe you got scared.
For now, you say you won’t see me and for now, that’s how it’s gotta be.
For now you’ve found you need some distance from my arms…
But ‘for now’ feels like ‘forever’ to me.

But, for a while wasn’t your touch tender? One kiss could set me afire.
And for the first time in my life I found out how it feels to lie awake and just ache with desire.
But now you say you don’t want me and it’s best we let these embers die…
For now, forget…and let the past go free…
But ‘for now’ feels like ‘forever’ to me.

I know that you’ve never said it, but ‘for now’ sounds like ‘forget it.’
I call your name, but there is no reply…I guess, ‘for now’ is how you say ‘good-bye.’
Bye-bye for now. Good-bye.
