How It Used To Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blue sky above me lying next to you
Breathe in that summer breeze
Crawl over me
Can't focus and it
Feels like falling
If time wasn't inflexible I'd stay here forever
But anything seems possible when
Reflected in your open eyes
Lost sight out of focus
I'm but a shadow of myself
It takes time but we'll notice
This story's worth defending
Cus I remember how it used to be…
I know it's perfectly understandable
You've been hurt before you'll just disappear
Get away from me
Think clearly and
Find happiness with someone new
We may be nothing more than chemicals
going on and on forever
I must be held responsible when
Reflecting in your open eyes
Lost sight out of focus
I'm but a shadow of myself
About time that I've noticed
Something is broken in me
Much more than what you see
I can't lie anymore
To myself or anyone else...
Cus I remember how it used to be…
