What Used To Be
We had it all at first
 The love we shared could never burst
 
 The good the bad, the new the old
 The ink in our line was always so bold
 
 The light is extinguished, your fire is gone.
 Why have you abandoned it?
 It used to be so strong
 
 The tears
 The plea
 I ask myself why
 After waiting for you to change
 I know you were living a lie
 
 You used to be my rock
 Upon which I would stand
 
 How tall I felt
 Those days I looked down on the sand
 
 I wanted our love and desire
 To go hand in hand
 
 What have we done?
 The sand has risen to my eyes
 
 You are not you
 I can see no more sky.
 
 The tears
 The plea
 What Used To Be
 
  I watched you fade away
 My pain became too great
 I couldn't take it one more day
 
 Love me
 Protect me
 Like you used to do
 Too much hurt and despair
 Has been spent on you
