You Were Once
Waking up to brand new eyes
I'll admit for a while it didn't feel right
I'll let it go, I'll let it fly
But I could never let die
'Cause you were once
A spark on the lips
That kind of bliss
That kind of you just feel like home
Something I miss
You know, when it hits
Some nights I still go down that road
I know we didn't make it
It's there in my mind
Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life
But you were once
So let's just agree that those memories still
Dance around when we're alone
If I meant to you what you meant to me
I'd hope that you still hold them close
They're gonna ask you questions
I hope you don't lie
You tell 'em "These days she ain't my whole life
Like she was once."
Now we're on a greener grass
I know you're gone,
So what's wrong looking back?
I'm okay with the leaving,
You're okay with the never want you back
It's just kinda sad
'Cause you were once
A spark on the lips
That kind of bliss
That kind of you just feel like home
Something I miss
You know, when it hits
Some nights I still go down that road
I know we didn't make it
It's there in my mind
Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life
But you were once
So let's just agree that those memories still
Dance around when we're alone
If I meant to you what you meant to me
I'd hope that you still hold them close
They're gonna ask you questions
I hope you don't lie
You tell 'em "These days she ain't my whole life
Like she was once."
You were once
I hope you remember me
The way I remember you.
Mm yeah
But you were once a spark on a lips
That kind of bliss
Baby, you just felt like home
Some nights I still go down that road
I know we didn't make it
It's there in my mind
Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life
Like you were once
So let's just agree that those memories still
Dance around when we're alone
If I meant to you what you meant to me
I'd hope that you still hold them close
