What Once Was

The essence of our souls reminds me of where we used to be
The shadow that dwells within you has blinded you to my plea
The cycle repeats itself for us, as it always does
To show that we have become destined to repeat what once was

The fact the that you can’t remember how much you affected me
Causes me to think that you want nothing but what you see
The cycle repeats itself for us, as it always does
To show that we have become destined to repeat what once was

I don’t stop thinking about what we had and where we are today
You found a way to happiness without me
Even so, I still think about what once was

Despite what you say, I still see the twinkle in your eye
You’re not to blame but I still have to wonder why
The cycle repeats itself for us, as it always does
To show that we have become destined to repeat what once was
