You Were Once

Waking up to brand new eyes

I'll admit for a while it didn't feel right

I'll let it go, I'll let it fly

But I could never let die

'Cause you were once

A spark on the lips

That kind of bliss

That kind of you just feel like home

Something I miss

You know, when it hits

Some nights I still go down that road

I know we didn't make it

It's there in my mind

Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life

But you were once

So let's just agree that those memories still

Dance around when we're alone

If I meant to you what you meant to me

I'd hope that you still hold them close

They're gonna ask you questions

I hope you don't lie

You tell 'em "These days she ain't my whole life

Like she was once."

Now we're on a greener grass

I know you're gone,

So what's wrong looking back?

I'm okay with the leaving,

You're okay with the never want you back

It's just kinda sad

'Cause you were once

A spark on the lips

That kind of bliss

That kind of you just feel like home

Something I miss

You know, when it hits

Some nights I still go down that road

I know we didn't make it

It's there in my mind

Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life

But you were once

So let's just agree that those memories still

Dance around when we're alone

If I meant to you what you meant to me

I'd hope that you still hold them close

They're gonna ask you questions

I hope you don't lie

You tell 'em "These days she ain't my whole life

Like she was once."

You were once

I hope you remember me

The way I remember you.

Mm yeah

But you were once a spark on a lips

That kind of bliss

Baby, you just felt like home

Some nights I still go down that road

I know we didn't make it

It's there in my mind

Yeah, these days you ain't my whole life

Like you were once

So let's just agree that those memories still

Dance around when we're alone

If I meant to you what you meant to me

I'd hope that you still hold them close

They're gonna ask you questions

I hope you don't lie

You tell 'em "These days she ain't my whole life."

'Cause baby these days you ain't my whole life

But you were once
