Lyrics
I USED TO KNOW
(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)
She woke up with me,
bent down to kiss me,
asked what she could be.
Would she be my lover,
or just another
friend in my time of need?
Would she be my own,
or be left alone
after she gave her all to me?
Oh no, it can’t be so.
I loved her but I made her go.
She took the space,
but never could replace
the love I used to know.
I wake up naked,
lonely without you,
single and feeling old.
What happened to our passion,
in what direction
have our two lives gone?
Is it a lesson learned,
or just a dream deferred?
Where has life left us after all?
Oh no, it can’t be so.
I loved her but I made her go.
She took the space,
but never could replace
the love I used to know.
