What Once Was

[Intro]
Yeah, ooh

[Chorus]
Raindrops on top my window, oh
In them I see your reflection, girl
You know I cannot just let go, oh
I do still crave the affection, yeah
My secret daydream, girl that’s you, ooh
Losin’ my mind, got me cuckoo
It’s been a while now, what’s new? Ooh
All of these other girls boo boo, yeah

[Verse 1]
In the grand scheme of things I’m simply left wondering
Would you have acted differently if I said what I mean?
Look, I’m so different from these people that you’ll meet
But I can’t think that way, I’m simply living as I be
When I check the sky, it remind me of your cloudy soul
In the cold, she is hot like thunderbolts
Shock to my nerves as the rain still falls
Muddy eyes, I feel dirty, needa change clothes

[Pre-Chorus]
What once was, I won’t give u-up
Lay your head to rest my love, love, love

[Chorus]
Raindrops on top my window, oh
In them I see your reflection, girl
You know I cannot just let go, oh
I do still crave the affection (yes I do)
My secret daydream, girl that’s you, ooh
Losin’ my mind, got me cuckoo
It’s been a while now, what’s new? Ooh
All of these other girls boo boo, yeah

[Verse 2]
Devil’s eyes wide open lookin’ straight at me
He knows what I crave is deep inside my memories
I gave you something I could never retrieve
And if I ever tried I’d simply be suffering, real
