[Verse 1]
When I wake up each morning
Trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
[Verse 2]
As for me, it's getting down
To the last unspoken part
When you must begin
To ease the pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care
If I have to lose your love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
[Bridge]
Wish it was enough for you
All the love I have to give
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know how much I tried
I really tried
[Verse 3]
And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won't find me being the one to get lost again
Once, I had so much to give
That you just refused my love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know how much I tried
I really tried
[Outro]
When I wake up each morning
Trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on
You're only someone that I used to love
Ooh, from now on
You're only someone that I used to love
