I used to be the one you chose br To tell your troubles to, br I listened to your heartfelt words br When you were down and blue; br br I was always there for you br Like you were there for me, br But lately things have changed - you're not br The way you used to be; br br In your words a sadness br Has stripped the color bare; br And all the warmth that used to be br Just simply isn't there; br br Words that used to mean so much br No longer dear to you, br I'm not sure that you hear them now - br The way you used to do; br br You seem to be preoccupied br Your mind no longer here, br You've moved into another space br You're motives are unclear; br br The pattern now repeats itself br Just like it's always been - br I kept the pace, but lost the race............. br Forgotten once again.
