Love You Like I Used To - Russell Dickerson

I try to hit the brakes when I think of better days But I don't have the willpower And I wish that I could change the way you think of me Why'd our love have to go sour? 'Cause letting you go has been takin' its toll And I ain't getting any stronger No good at goodbyes, feel lonely tonight And I can't take it any longer Oh, won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Wish I could drown the parts you burned inside my heart But puttin' out a fire ain't easy And I've tried to heal my space, forget and walk away I've tried my hardest, believe me 'Cause letting you go has been takin' its toll And I ain't getting any stronger No good at goodbyes, feel lonely tonight And I can't take it any longer Oh, won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Don't need to lust forever, don't mean we're back together Just wanna feel like Heaven one more time So hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum So won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Don't need to lust forever, don't mean we're back together Just wanna feel like Heaven one more time So hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me Sharing pillows and cold feet She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat Under blankets and warm sheets If only I could be in that bed again If only it were me instead of him Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? 14 months and seven days ago Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night Just your skin against the window Oh, we took it slow and we both know It should have been me inside that car It should have been me instead of him in the dark Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite Parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sings to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? I know, Love (I'm a sucker for that feeling) Happens all the time, Love (I always end up feeling cheated) You're on my mind, Love (oh darling, lead her where that leaded) It happens all the time, Love, yeah Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you every day? Will he make you make you feel like You're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right? Don't throw this all away Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things like we used to? Oh, like we used to

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
