about

This song is about falling out of love, and realizing a relationship is past it's best days. I actually wrote this for a friend during his breakup.

lyrics

Can't you tell or is it just me?
This is not what it used to be
I thanked the stars when they brought me to you
Now I'm at war with the both sides of you

You used to challenge my whole world view
All my falsehoods became my truths
The way you laughed set my heart on fire
Now we're just balancing on a wire

But it Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
Yeah It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love

It's like a constant apology
Cause right or wrong you put it all on me
When you know you've got yourself to blame
Now all we've got here are numbered days

But it Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
Yeah It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love

Can't you tell by my bitter tone?
I think we're much better off alone
But the highs that we shared back then
Play on my mind time and time again

Cause it Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
Yeah It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
It Used to Be Love
