Lyrics

I Used To Be
Music & Lyrics by
Krisanthi Pappas



Verse 1: You, there across the crowd, something drew us near,

you tried to look away but I was gazing back at you.

And though, we were both grown up, soon life took a turn,

and you became the childhood friend I always wished I knew.

Pre-Chorus:
We ran and followed spring through a meadow I had seen in the color of your eyes
But just like waking up when it?s all a foggy dream, the happy ending dies.


Chorus: I used to be, so-o in love with you.

I used to live to share my life with you.

But now this pain has clouded all my memories,

I don?t want to see, how I used to be.


Verse 2: Warm, wrapped inside your love, holding you asleep,

awakened by the gentle breeze that a summer morning blows,

Now, where I once held you, I spend sleepless nights

in the empty arms of late-night television shows.

Pre-Chorus:
I talk to our friend God, and I ask Him to relieve this aching in my heart.

Like looking back at home from the window of a plane, I watch us grow apart.


To Chorus twice


End: When you were, with me.
