Used to Be - AJ Mitchell

I was honest for the second time I guess that wasn't really what you had in mind Said that you could like me if you wanted to Then followed me around until I talked to you And could you tell that you were scaring me Called me crying, said you thought you were in love with me Cut my hair enough that I won't look the same Maybe it gets easier in seventh grade I'd already had enough then I already gave an answer and still it wouldn't end You didn't care what I said Guess it was just another rule that you could bend We used to be friends Even at my best I'm still just small to you Dragged me halfway down the hall 'cause it was easy to What a funny feeling when you're pushed around You don't even know you're falling till you're on the ground I'd already had enough then I already swore to be a person I'd defend Carry me to the deep end What could be worse than having nothing to depend on? We used to be friends You were just waiting on a call I never cared for it at all You were so hopelessly dissolved I never wanted you to take the fall Take the fall

Are you wonderin' why no one talks anymore And all you hear is the cry for war Are you wonderin' if there are people who Hurt inside the same as you There are gray-faced men always tellin' me That things ain't like they used to be You kids have got no self respect Wake up old man to your neglect It's dog eat dog, it's hand to mouth It's east and west, it's north and south Just like you drummed it into me Things ain't like they used to be I'll tell you why I can't afford To hang my hopes upon your word And when I'm done I'll join the queue Take my chance, no thanks to you It's in or out, it's stop and go It isn't what, it's who you know I've heard you now can you hear me? Things ain't like they used to be Are you wonderin' why no one talks anymore And all you hear is the cry for war Are you wonderin' if there are people who Hurt inside the same as you Ancient rules for ancient men But this is now and that was then Don't lay your heavy hand on me And sink me in your poison sea It's us and them, it's me and you It's guessing games, it's what to do Exactly like you said to me Things ain't like they used to be Are you wonderin' why no one talks anymore And all you hear is the cry for war Are you wonderin' if there are people who Hurt inside the same as you Are you wonderin' why, no one talks anymore And all you hear is the cry of war Are you wonderin' if there are people who Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you Hurt inside the same as you

I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free He wrote his epitaph He wrote his eulogy It said, "I think that I can die now For my true love won't come for me" Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free

We used to be so close Now we're like distant dreamers I always said to you Nothing would come between us I won't get over this We had so much of fun Your smell, your touch, your kiss Now all of that is gone We used to be so close Now we're like silence rangers Together hand in hand We always share the dangers I won't get over this We had so much of fun Your laugh, your eyes, your lips Now all of that is gone We used to be so close Now we're like faded roses Remembering all we had I never thought we'd lose it

Scrolling through the pictures Feeding my addictions Sick of all the fake love Shouldn't drink the Kool-Aid But I think it's too late Guess I gotta stay up Some days I just hate myself Wish that I was someone else Stuck inside this prison cell Can someone help?
