How You Once Loved Me
There are things that I did long ago
That I don't do anymore
We grow out of things
Each day is different
Than the day before
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
There are needs we have
When we are young
And discard as we mature
Time can change so much
The only certain thing is
Nothing's sure
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
It's not an easy place
This world we face
But I'll face anything
As long as that warm morning sun
Will always bring me you
There's a time for everything we do
When it's over we move on
Just true love remains
And I'll still love you
When all else is gone
For me to love you
I just have to breathe
In this world where nothing stays the same
Stay with me
I've passed the point of reason
Of caring how I feel
What used to matter most to me
Has no importance now
I wish I knew how to love again
I kept most all your presents
In the bureau down the hall
And when I'm into hurting me
I look them through
And I think of you, and how you loved me
How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too
There are no rhymes or reasons
Why people carry on
From the day young girls discover
They're different from little boys
And love is just a toy
They can play with
And we were just as foolish
Now I can't be that way
Maybe you feel just as strange
And too afraid to say
I can find a way to say I love you
How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too
That I don't do anymore
We grow out of things
Each day is different
Than the day before
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
There are needs we have
When we are young
And discard as we mature
Time can change so much
The only certain thing is
Nothing's sure
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe
It's not an easy place
This world we face
But I'll face anything
As long as that warm morning sun
Will always bring me you
There's a time for everything we do
When it's over we move on
Just true love remains
And I'll still love you
When all else is gone
For me to love you
I just have to breathe
In this world where nothing stays the same
Stay with me
I've passed the point of reason
Of caring how I feel
What used to matter most to me
Has no importance now
I wish I knew how to love again
I kept most all your presents
In the bureau down the hall
And when I'm into hurting me

And I think of you, and how you loved me
How you once loved me
How we once loved

How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too
