"We Used To"
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
I Thought I was dreaming
When I saw you packing your stuff,
You said you were leaving
Mumbled something bout had enough.
Looked at you all speechless
You looked at me and said goodbye,
Left me as a total mess
Since then my eyes haven't been dry.

Lift:
When I look into my eyes,
I reminisce the good times.
(We had....)
All the laughs, all the mad fun,
Back when you and I were one.
(Way back...)

Chorus
We used to go to carnivals
We used to buy Christmas trees,
We used to sneak in theaters
We used to split a number three.
We used to go out ice skating
We used to shop for groceries,
We used to do so many things
Now it's all just plain memories.

We used to's, we used to's...no more

Verse 2
Since you left me that day
I've felt so cold and all alone,
'Cause it's all work, no play
And the house doesn't feel like home.
Still I keep keeping on
All though it hurts like hell inside,
Still can't believe you're gone
That's why I cry alone at night.

RE-Lift

RE-Chorus

Bridge
I'm starting to come around
Realizing you're not here,
That all the we used to's too
It's facing my worst fear.
Living without you like this,
'Cause you're all that I miss.

RE-Chorus

Fantastic poem. Great potrayal of the human emotion cycle. Good job.
