Used to be (2008 single version)

You are coming home, are you still alone?
Are you not the same as you used to be?
As the sun grows high and you serve your time
does each day just feel like another lie?

Now you know, is it just for show,
just a foolish game that you hide behind?
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

In an endless night, could you feel the fright
of an age that was and could never be?
So we hold it close when we feel the most
like a love that we could not leave behind

We turn the wheel to which way we feel
till I'm lost and I cannot find you there
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

Even if I tried so hard,
would we still be coming to an end?
Even if we spoke the same words,
would we still return as friends?

Even if it's simple from the start,
we would give the pieces of our hearts
And when there is nothing left to pretend
we will know it's coming to an end

Even if I tried so hard,
we would give the pieces of our hearts
It's always good to see you again
Even if it's coming to an end

We could wait until the summer,
see what happens to the other
We could stay inside all summer,
see what that means to the other
