Used To

  • It felt like yesterday
    We were meant to stay
    Living like nothing wrong could happen

    I still recall a time
    You were on my mind
    Monopolizing each and every second

    Figured I should know
    How it's got to go
    Cause nothing is made to last forever

    I'm hardly movin' on
    The proof in is in the song
    Remembering how

    I used to feel alive,
    I used to want to,
    I used to be alright,
    I used to love you.
    I used to never feel like I do now,
    I used to never feel like I do now,
    I used to walk on air
    I used to care,
    I had no fear of falling,
    I used to never feel like I do now

    Well I can't ignore the hurt
    Pretending isn't worth
    Knowing that you're better off without me

    I guess that you were right
    When you told me I
    Would probably one day be sorry

    But you know I'm not the kind
    to beg for second tries
    Just chalk it up to another lesson learned

    And let it settle in
    If I'd ever love again
    Remembering how

    I used to feel alive,
    I used to want to,
    I used to be alright,
    I used to love you.
    I used to never feel like I do now,
    I used to never feel like I do now,
    I used to walk on air,
    I used to care,
    I had no fear of falling,
    I used to never feel like I do now

    I know it's probably for the better
    But I wish I could somehow just not remember
    I know it's probably for the better
    But I wish I could somehow just not remember
    I used to

    I used to

    I used to walk on air,
    I used to care,
    I had no fear of falling,
    I used to never feel like I do now Writer/s: Darren Charles King, Paul Meany, Roy Mitchell, Todd Andrew Gummerman
