The Way Things Used To Be
I look at your face and I see it's red
You got a lot on your plate than is in your head
You think that money's okay, but it ought to grow on trees
And when I say, why don't you plant a coin?
You say I'm being sarcastic and that you're goin'
See how a silly remark can cause a lot of tears
And people don't know what we're going through
They think if nothing is right, it can't be true
They have an image of us that only they can see
The way things used to be
Used to be, used to be
I look at your heart and I see it's gone
There's nothing beating inside, not even a drum
It doesn't matter, I dare-say, as long as you can breathe
And when I say, is that Beef Wellington?
You say, I've told you, goddammit, bourguignon
See how a silly mistake can cause a lot of grief
And like It or not, it's a sad affair
We never talk anymore, go out anywhere
It's like a different world to the one of you and me
The way things used to be
The way things used to be, used to be
The way things used to be
Not so long ago, when we were young and free
The way things used to be
Not so long ago, you were loving me
Every night and every day, strong in every way
Passion glowing like a fire, burning with desire, whatever happened?
I look at your face 'til I see it's long
You've got one hell of a cheek saying nothing's wrong
You think I like it when friends are reluctant to appear?
And when I say why don't you tell me straight
You say I'm losing my temper and that you hate
See how an over-reaction causes so much fear
And when I get home after being away
You know I've only one thought for the coming day
I wish that in between fighting we could stop and see
The way things used to be
The way things used to be
The way things used to be
The way things used to be
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
The way things used to be (the way things used to, used to be)
(The way things used to, used to be)
Used to be
