letra de used to be - patty larkin

[verse 1]
well he comes on like a ton of bricks
they say he loves the ladies
opens up a pack of cigarettes
lights one up, tries to save me
his shoes are shined like an army guy’s
his jeans are pressed and faded
there’s a quiet surprise behind his eyes
when he senses that i’m jaded

[chorus]
used to be
only god could tell the future
usеd to be
photographs they only came in black and whitе
used to be
every girl was like her mother
used to be simple alright

[verse 2]
so i’m feeling like i owe him one
well, it’s something like a favor
i’m too polite in the neon light
acting like his savior
he loves to talk so i let him go
longer than i should have
talks like a wind come from his soul
wouldn’t have stopped him if i could have
[chorus]
used to be
only god could tell the future
used to be
photographs they only came in black and white
used to be
every girl was like her mother
used to be simple alright

[verse 3]
he orders up another round of drinks
and flirts with the girl at the bar
i watch the ceiling far too close
wonder where you are
and on his face like a line you can trace
is the look of a young man drowning
my eyes are wide as i say goodbye
leave him where i found him

[verse 4]
outside on the avenue
well, it’s one thick sheet of ice
cars crawl by in ones and twos
if they stop they don’t look twice
footsteps on the pavement
fall silent in the eye of the storm
they all rush by with downcast eye
looking for a place to get warm
[chorus]
used to be
only god could tell the future
used to be
photographs they only came in black and white
used to be
every girl was like her mother
used to be simple alright
used to be
used to be
used to be
