Lyrics

It Used to be Me

Late at night I'm walking down the city streets alone
I've got no destination but I don't feel much like going home
Since you left my heart is empty, there's no music in my life
No you and me together, just tears that cut like a knife

(Chorus)
Oh, I miss your melody
Oh, you were my harmony
I want it like it used to be
When your love used to be me
It used to be me

I found a letter from a long, long time ago
I never sent it but the message thrilled me so
It said you were my baby and that you'd always be
My light my love my angel, center of the world for me

(Chorus)
Oh, I miss your melody
Oh, you were my harmony
I want it like it used to be
When your love used to be me
It used to be me

Sometimes I wanna go, to where my pain don't show, back once upon a time
When you loved me more, and I was 10 feet tall, and the world was mine
Now I can't find that place, seems like I'm lost in space, and I just can't see
Why I can't find the tune, I'm sleeping at high noon, and you don't love me

Well when we'd put our hearts together, a symphony would play
But you said the song was over, and you just couldn't stay
I keep daydreaming, hoping praying there'll come a day
When my melody and my harmony return to me and say

(Chorus)
Oh, I miss your melody
Oh, you were my harmony
I want it like it used to be
When your love used to be me
It used to be me
