How You Once Loved Me

I've passed the point of reason
Of caring how I feel
What used to matter most to me
Has no importance now
I wish I knew how to love again
I kept most all your presents
In the bureau down the hall
And when I'm into hurting me
I look them through
And I think of you, and how you loved me

How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too

There are no rhymes or reasons
Why people carry on
From the day young girls discover
They're different from little boys
And love is just a toy
They can play with
And we were just as foolish
Now I can't be that way
Maybe you feel just as strange
And too afraid to say
I can find a way to say I love you

How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too
