the ones we used to be Lyrics

We were something years ago, alone on that rooftop

Moved far away, with the lights, turning off and on

I still wish you the best

Don't let me give you my best

Now I'll put my heart on the line and confess

Our love was once a test, now it's just a mess

You broke my heart, but I'll always wish you the best

Even when you never knew how much that we had meant

The ones we used to be

Were the ones that got away

I thought we were forever, but you led me astray

Instead of all these things that always stay

I loved you for too long, now it's time to sway

In this love game, I was betrayed

Love was the one I could not make mistakes

Love was the color of the shades

I'll find my way, love that betrayed me won't stay

You played your part, now I'll rewrite the whole play

Love slipped through my fingers, now it's time to fray

I'm falling so far away

There's nothing I can say

I turn my face the other away

Now I'll put my heart on the line and confess

Our love was once a test, now it's just a mess

You broke my heart, but I'll always wish you the best

Even when you never knew how much that we had meant

One for the money, two 'cause you never showed

Three, 'cause I never learned to let go

Because when you know, you know

And nobody told me, nobody showed

Leave me on my own, crying all the way home

You were such a goddamn hoax

I sing words, I write songs, the city screams it to you, babe

Now I'll put my heart on the line and confess

Our love was once a test, now it's just a mess

You broke my heart, but I'll always wish you the best

Even when you never knew how much that we had meant

The ones we used to be

Were the ones that got away

I thought we were forever, but you led me astray

Instead of all these things that always stay

I loved you for too long, now it's time to sway

It's time to sway

It's time to sway
