Used to Be (2008 Single Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are coming home
Are you still alone?
Are you not the same as you used to be?

[Verse 2]
As the sun grows high
And you serve your time
Does each day just feel like another lie?

[Verse 3]
Now you know
Is it just for show?
Just a foolish game that you hide behind?

[Verse 4]
Don't forget the nights
When it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

[Verse 5]
In an endless night
Could you feel the fright
Of an age that was and could never be?

[Verse 6]
So we hold it close
When we feel the most
Like a love that we could not leave behind

[Verse 7]
We turn the wheel
To which way we feel
Til' I'm lost and I can not find you there

[Verse 8]
Don't forget the nights
When it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

Even if I tried so hard
Would we still be coming to an end
Even if we spoke the same words
Would we still return as friends

Even if it's simple from the start
(we could stay until the summer)
We will give the pieces of our hearts
(see what happens to the other)
And when there is nothing left to pretend
(we could stay inside all summer)
We will know it's coming to an end
(see what happens to the other)

Even if we tried so hard
(we could wait until the summer)
We will give the pieces of our hearts
(see what happens to the other)
It's always good to see you again
(we could stay inside all summer)
Even if it's coming to an end
(see what happens to the other)

We could wait until the summer
See what happens to the other
We could stay inside all summer
See what happens to the other
