Another Used to Be Lyrics

I brought you here so that I can express
The things I've been thinkin' bout give me your ear.
'cause I don't normally do this so bare with me through this.
There are so many things that I
Want to say. but let me start by simply
Saying I thank you. darling just because

I used to love someone that I didn't like we used
To want to break up every other night.
I used to think relationships were a lot of stress.
I used to think that pain was a part of
Happiness. now all that's changed since you've come my way,
But I don't want us to become
Another used to be.

I hope what I'm saying don't discourage you in any kind of way
Cause I do believe that you have
The potential to be everything I need.
I hope that you can really understand that I would hate
To be with someone new, and tell them what I'm telling you.

I used to love someone that I didn't like.
We used to want to break up every other night.
I used to think relationships were a lot of stress.
I used to think that pain was a part of
Happiness. now all that's changed since you've come my way,
But I don't want us to become
Another used to be.

'cause it would only be another waste of time
And another moment to be erased out of my
Mind. another memory a part of history.
I can't forget 'cause it keeps on haunting me.
Now that your here is evidently clear,
But I don't ever have to have this worry again again, oh

I used to love someone that I didn't like.
We used to want to break up every other night.
I used to think relationships were a lot of stress.
I used to think pain was a part of
Happiness. now all that's changed since you've come my way,
But I don't want us to become
Another used to be.

I used to love someone that I didn't like.
We used to want to break up every other night.
I used to think relationships were a lot of stress.
I used to think pain was a part of
Happiness. now all that's changed since you've come my way,
But I don't want us to become
Another used to be.

I used to love someone that I didn't like.
We used to want to break up every other night.
I used to think relationships were a lot of stress.
I used to think pain was a part of
Happiness. now all that's changed since you've come my way,
But I don't want us to become
Another used to be.
