I Used To Know You

 

Who are you?
I used to know
Saw your shinning smile through the storm
And used it to guide me in times 
When I was too far gone to see the light alone
Now we’re both blind

You used to listen to me ramble
And understand my backwards rhymes
Now you can’t hear me speaking
Talking loud, I’m not the type
So I’ll keep quiet till it’s time to scream your name
You’re not the same

Once the silver lining
The voice of reason on crying clouds
Now you’re searching for something I can’t see
Gone
Where’s the window you left open for me
So I could follow behind
You’re nowhere to be found
And I’m so alone

My friend she was glory
An innocent beauty
A perfect rose so sweet
But now she’s gone

She lives the night life
While I struggle to stand alone
I didn’t see her leaving
Before she was gone
And she left me behind.
