The Way We 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.
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to talk about forever you and i
And love was all we seemed to need
I still recall sometimes
The way we used to be
When did we change
Where has love gone
We can't explain it
But we know there's something wrong
And all that's left of you and me
Is just a memory of
The way we used to be
I can remember when
We used to be the best of friends
Now suddenly we don't know what to say
If there's a chance that we
Can bring the feeling back again
I've got to try
Why don't you stay
'cause in my heart
I think you know
I tried to hide it but I just can't let you go
It's not too late
For you and me
To be in love again
The way we used to be
It's not too late
For you and me
To be in love again
The way we used to be
