How I Used To Be - Rea Garvey

She looked lost sitting silent

On the sidewalk

I remembered how she used to love life

Used to love

She said I left for the hope of something better

What you miss is what you once had got right

And she fell into my arms

Crazed by the fear of more pain

I thought I had got her back

I thought that she was back

And I saw you after a long time of searching

I didn’t know I broke your heart

I didn’t want to break your heart

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad

Was because I wanted something

That I couldn’t have

Every time you feel like you’re running from the way side

Oh you know that you cannot believe me

Every time you’re hurting when you feel like it’s over

We’re the same

Let’s be the same again

Lost in this doorway where I told you I would wait

Will you answer, should I go or should I stay?

And I feel you standing listening to me leaving

Is there no hope of one last embrace?

And she falls into my arms

Crazed by the fear of more pain

I thought I had got her back

I thought that she was back

And I saw you after a long time of searching

I didn’t know I broke your heart

I didn’t want to break your heart

And I realized now the only reason I was feeling bad

Was because I wanted something

That I couldn’t have

Every time you feel like you’re running from the way side

Oh you know that you cannot believe me

Every time you’re hurting when you feel like it’s over

We’re the same

And I, I can’t explain why we do these things, we do these things

Every time you feel like you’re running from the way side

Oh you know that you cannot believe me

Every time you’re hurting when you feel like it’s over

We’re the same

Let’s be the same again

Let’s be the same again

Let’s be the same again
