Lyrics
I USE TO
It's not funny anymore
When you're stumbling through the door
At one in the morning
With whisky on your breath
Beggin for one more day
But there's just no way
You lost your chance
When you made that bottle your best friend
What am I supposed to do?
It's killing me too.
I use to love you
I use to breathe you
There was a time when my whole world
Revolved around you
I use to need you
I use to dream you
Now you're just a nightmare to me
It's too late
I can't hold on anymore.
Like I use to
Just like the night before
Help you gently off the floor
Pull up the blanket
Run my fingers through your hair
Watch you fall asleep
Then go and pack the Jeep
With all I need
But I'll leave your memory behind
Drive fast as I can
Someday you'll understand
I use to love you
I use to breathe you
There was a time when my whole world
Revolved around you
I use to need you
I use to dream you
Now you're just a nightmare to me
It's too late
I can't hold on anymore
There's no way
I can trust you anymore
I'm starting over
I don't love you anymore
Like I use to.
