We no longer know what to say,
we only touch,
when you feel right,
and it is convenient
I don't hold your attention anymore
how do I know I still hold your heart?
You no longer rush to welcome me home,
you never dress up for me anymore,
the twinkle in your eyes don't dance
at the sight of me the same way
the ink splattered on the paper,
no longer takes the shape of my name
And oh, I remember how it used to be
I was in your embrace so often,
you would let your love take me high,
any time you felt I was feeling low
and, oh, you could read me so well
you knew what I wanted
way before my brain had it acknowledged
Oh, what once was, and the used to be's,
will never be, not in the same way again,
look at yourself too,
could you honestly say you're still the same?
and you were so familiar to me,
i could see your emotions display on your face
the stolen glances, the silence
I could decipher them so well
you would say "sweetie, it's all in your head"
but the soft pecks on my cheeks,
mean nothing more than a formality
but I still love you the same,
tell me I'm still the one,
tell me for you, there could never be anyone else
**and I don't know if I can take a step,
without you over-looking into it,
I feel myself suffocating,
under the memories of all the glorious used to be's
but I still love you the same, baby girl
and I would show you, if you'd only let me.
tell me
that it is not too late for us yet, please.
