Used To Be

Once upon a time, we were so in love

you were my light, my angel from above

we were inseperable, do anything for just one moment

to feel your arms around me, protecting me from the world

we were so happy, I couldn’t think of a better man

but then things began to change

I want to go back to how we used to be

we started to lose our connection

our love losing its light

and I could see our hearts pulling away

but I didn’t want to give up

I just wanted you to love me

but despite all I did

I could still feel our love fading away

I just wanted it to stay just how it used to be

and then our fights pushed us beyond our breaking points

such heated words we exchanged

and I know we never meant it

because I was so in love with you

you, the only reason I was alive

but I felt like I wasn’t enough

we pushed each other so far

and I gave up wishing for how it used to be

I tried to live apart from you

move on and find someone new

but no matter how much I tried

you never left my mind or my heart

and I knew that it was you, my true love

I came back to you, to make everything work

but you told me it would never be like we used to be

and my heart shattered into millions of pieces

broken and destroyed, I am just damaged goods

how I miss your touch, the feel of your heart

I miss your kiss and the taste of your lips

my hand is now empty as I walk forever alone

forced to go on without you

to cry myself to sleep

look at my empty finger were the ring used to be

my love for you will go on always and forever

my tears belong to you, my love

and I will never give up the hope of us

even as my heart dies more each day

I survive on the memories of our love

once so pure and true

and even as I feel myself fading away

I will always have hope

that we will go back to how we used to be

I just want to go back

to how we used to be
