Used To Be Yours

(album: A Heart Is a Terrible Thing to Break - 2023)

Lights on, but nobody's home
I smile, but it's just for show
Head down, sidewalk's my only friend
Turns out, no answers in cement

Only tear drops and gum spots
And "don't go"s and "why not"s
Just wanna feel the way I felt 'cause

I used to be happy as hell
Used to believe in fairy tales
I used to think love was secure
I used to be
Used to be yours

Lights off with somebody new
I try, but it isn't you
My head said it was too soon
I wish my heart would listen too

Only long nights where I'm tongued-tied
Under bars light after midnight
Just wanna feel the way I felt 'cause

I used to be happy as hell
Used to believe in fairy tales
I used to think love was secure
I used to be
Used to be yours

I used to be yours
I used to be yours
But not anymore

I used to be happy as hell
Used to believe in fairy tales
I used to love, but not anymore
I used to be
Used to be yours
