You could tell she loved him the way he was
You could see he’d changed and that something was lost
But she could live off memories
(All in colour)
She could live off dreams
(They were almost too real)
Still, as a best kept secret
She told her diary
She was to let him go

Wipe away those tears
You’ve been longing for this for years
Wipe away those tears
Yes, wipe away your tears now
You are for real now

She would lie awake alone four nights in a week
She could hear she looked well but needed some sleep
And she was feeling lonely
(She had her friends though)
She was feeling down
(It was hard to accept)
Still, as a word of comfort
She told her diary
She was NEW and NOW

Wipe away those tears
You’ve been longing for this for years
Wipe away those tears
Yes, wipe away your tears now

There’s only now
There’s only now

Wipe away those tears
You’ve been longing for this for years
Wipe away those tears
Yes, wipe away your tears now
You are for real now
