When will I love again, the way I used to love you?
Darling, I used to be so sweet, so bright, so new;
When I fell for your eyes, and you fell for me, too-
When will I love again, the way I used to love you?

I used to walk in circles, and you used to be a stranger
You caught my eye, and I should have known better
Than to be blinded by the right words you uttered
But still, I stood before you in complete surrender.

I always thought love was enough to mend all things
So I gave love, tried, in the midst of my heavy breathing;
As I saw remnants of my pride; there, I slowly caved in
And in that moment, love just felt like any other feeling.

I gave up and slowly built my shattered pride
Like walls around my chest, great enough for me to hide;
Strong enough for the strongest tide;
After countless times of loving and giving, I died.
