How I Used To Be

(album: Can't Stand The Silence - 2011)

She looked lost
Sitting silent
On the sidewalk
I remembered how she used to love life
Used to love
She said I left for the hope of something better
What you miss is what you once had got right

And she fell into my arms
Crazed by the fear of more pain
I thought I had got her back
I thought that she was back

I saw you after a long time of searching
I didn't know I broke your heart
I didn't want to break your heart

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad
Was because I wanted something
That I couldn't have
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
Let's be the same again

Lost in this doorway where I told you I would wait
Will you answer should I go or should I stay?
Feel you standing listening to me leaving
Is there no hope of one last embrace?

And she falls into my arms
Crazed by the fear of more pain
I thought I had got her back
I thought that she was back

I saw you after a long time of searching
I didn't know I broke your heart
I didn't want to break your heart

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad
Was because I wanted something
That I couldn't have
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
And I, I can't explain why we do these things we do these things
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
Let's be the same again

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad
Was because I wanted something
That I couldn't have
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
And I, I can't explain why we do these things we do these things
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
Let's be the same again

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad
Was because I wanted something
That I couldn't have
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
And I, I can't explain why we do these things we do these things
Every time you feel like you're running from the way side
Oh you know that you cannot believe me
Every time you're hurting when you feel like it's over
We're the same
Let's be the same again
