Used To Be

Heartbreaks and mistakes

Go hand in hand like a story 'bout trouble

You wrote in my book for me

Page after page another line you'd feed me

You say you're sorry

But I'm so sick of that same old story

You broke my heart, you broke your word

What was I to do?

You used to be everything I needed

You were there when I was bleeding

But you took from me, the heartbeat that I need

You used to be everything I needed

But like a game of cards you cheated

And you took from me, the heartbeat that I need

What I guess I'll never know is how you ever just let

me go,

You were all I need

They say time will tell

Time after time you shot us straight to hell

You took everything I gave

Over n' over, I learned a lesson in hate

You say you're so sorry

But I'm so sick of that same old story

You broke my heart, you broke your word

What was I to do?

If you took the time, to turn around

You would've seen, that all along

I was standing here with arms wide open

But you left me broken

With the only words unspoken

You used to be everything I needed

You were there when I was bleeding

But you took from me.... What I needed

What I guess I'll never know is how you ever just let

me go,

You were all I needed
