Used To Love

How do you tell someone that you used to love
That you don't feel the same way?
That you grew in different ways
How do you tell someone that you used to love
That the years have brought you change
And it hurts more now to stay
Oh I don't know if I'm ready to let you go but

It hurts too much now to be with you
'Cause I don't feel the way that you do
The silent burning of a secret truth
Is eating at the layers of my heart
And I don't know how to say to you
You did nothing wrong, but I'm still confused
A different song, but you're still my muse
Still lately we've been growing apart

I care too much to hurt you, but also too much to lie
And so I'm stuck between breaking your heart or breaking mine
I think this could've worked if we met at a different time
But we were kids when we fell in love and now we're on the line
Between adolescence and adulthood
Learned some lessons that resulted
In the two of us becoming better people than before
You were my sense of belonging
And the first person I've fallen in love with
But I don't know if I love you anymore
And you didn't do a thing to deserve this
I just think that people grow and we become different versions
Of somebody that existed in the past
Same name, same face, but alas
Got a new mind and a romance
That's affected gradually
I just wish that this wasn't the way that things had to be

It hurts too much now to be with you
Cause I don't feel the way that you do
The silent burning of a secret truth
Is eating at the layers of my heart
And I don't know how to say to you
You did nothing wrong, but I'm still confused
A different song, but you're still my muse
Still lately we've been growing apart

It hurts too much now to be with you
Cause I don't feel the way that you do
The silent burning of a secret truth
Is eating at the layers of my heart
And I don't know how to say to you
You did nothing wrong, but I'm still confused
A different song, but you're still my muse
Still lately we've been growing apart
