Lyrics
I used to hold my breath and count to ten.
That's how I used to keep these walls from closing in.
And I was always sure that
What I used to know was real or not.
Now I can't tell the difference,
But I used to.
I used to know when storms were getting close.
They changed the color of the sky I miss the most.
And when the rain would stop,
I don't remember if I cried or not.
Now I can't tell the difference
But I used to.
Sometimes I need a break
From all this make-believe.
It's getting harder to remember
That I used to be......
Cold and deep, like a river
A redwood tree, only bigger
Heart cut open so you all can see.
Black and blue, like a fighter
Head in the clouds, maybe higher
Big, bright stars right in front of me.
One step away from a breakthrough
Now I can't fly, but I used to.
I used to think what's broken can't be fixed.
When all the pieces left behind don't seem to fit.
Still, I do the best I can
To keep from speeding up or slowing down.
Now, I can't tell the difference,
But I used to.
Sometimes I need a break
From all this make-believe.
It's getting harder to remember
That I used to be,
The only one I'm fighting for.
The only one's been here before.
The only one who knows I used to be...
Cold and deep, like a river
A redwood tree, only bigger
Heart cut open so you all can see.
Black and blue, like a fighter
Head in the clouds, maybe higher
Big, bright stars right in front of me.
One step away from a breakthrough
Now I can't fly, but I used to.
