Lately

Well, used to think that
You and I would be together, oh forever
Used to be
That we could talk about just about anything
Didn't much matter
We shared the laughter and the pain

There were good times with the bad
You would curl up in my lap
As I'd rock you off to sleep
Don't you know I'd give up anything
Just to wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Why, I'd even die
But you slammed the door in my face
What's come over you of late?

'Cause lately
I've been knocking at your door
Oh and maybe you even heard me calling your name
But it's not the same anymore
'Cause you don't return my call
Not lately

Well, my heart's bled tears of anguish
Wish I could blame this oh on myself
But though I've always been
Right there by your side
If I made up your mind
They'd cry puppet on a string
The world or me
You're going to have to choose between

'Cause lately
I've been knocking at your door
Oh and maybe you even heard me calling your name
But it's not the same anymore
'Cause you don't return my calls
Not lately

It's just not the same, not the same anymore
It's just not the same, not the same anymore
No it hasn't been the same
Oh no it just hasn't been the same
And don't you know I left my Father's house
Gave up everything that I had
Just so, just so we could be together
Why, He even turned His back
When I chose to love you more than life itself

But lately
I've been knocking at your door
And maybe you even heard me call your name
But it's not the same anymore
No you don't return my calls

Lately
I've been knocking at your door
Oh and maybe you even heard me calling your name
But it's not the same anymore
'Cause you don't return my calls
No, you don't return my calls
No, you don't return my call
Not lately
