Things I Used To Be

THINGS I USED TO BE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

A MILLION MILES, A HUNDRED YEARS

I'M FEELING WEIGHED DOWN BY ALL THESE FEARS

MAYBE I'VE WORN OUT MY WELCOME

I'VE BEEN HERE TOO LONG, IT'S TIME TO GO

ALREADY WALKING LIKE A GHOST

PEOPLE LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH ME 

YOU ONLY SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE

NEVER THOUGHT THINGS WOULD GET SO CRAZY

TO FALL THIS MUCH, I MUST OF LOST MY TOUCH

IS IT ABOUT LOSING, BECAUSE I'VE LOST SO MUCH

A MILLION MILES TO GET HERE

SO MANY YEARS GONE 

IT WON'T BE LONG

NOT SURE WHY I'M HANGING ON

THE NIGHTS ARE GETTING LONGER NOW

CATCHING UP TO THESE DAYS THAT SEEMED TO NEVER END

I LOOK AROUND ME AND ALL I SEE

ARE THINGS I USED TO BE 

ALL THE THINGS I WAS

AND ALL THE THINGS I'LL NEVER BE

THAT LIFE WAS KEPT FROM ME

OH THE THINGS I'D CHANGE IF I COULD

PEACE AND SERENITY WOULD BE MINE

A REFLECTION IN KIND 

DAYS FOREVER, SUMMER SUN

THE MAGIC NEVER STOPS, IT'S NEVER DONE 

AND THE WORLD WOULD GO ON

WITHOUT YOU AND I

WE'D BE HERE ON OUR OWN

A PARADISE FOR TWO, ANYTHING OR NOTHING TO DO

OH THE THINGS I'D CHANGE, SO WE HAD MORE TIME

REFLECTION OF THESE DAYS NOW DARK AND BLACK

WORLDS APART FROM WHAT I WANT TO SEE 

A LITTLE MORE TIME AND MAYBE IT COULD BE 

A MILLION MILES, A HUNDRED YEARS

IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL

STAND BACK AND WATCH ME FALL

IT'S TOO LATE, IT'S TOO FAR GONE

I'M TRYING TO MAKE BUT IT TAKES TOO LONG

LIKE THIS I'LL BE GONE
