He Used To Be There (TGAAC Version of She Used To Be Mine)
I have too many thoughts and rewrote this: https://youtu.be/TfLKha_FUNU
And yes this one’s also for Barok van Zieks because I attacked with brainrot for this man tonight, and I have time.
Most days I don't recognize him
That this badge, this position,
The courts and their people
Have taken more than he gave them
He’s not anything like he used to be
He never attention’s sweet centre
I still remember that man.
He's imperfect but he tries
He is broken and won't ask for help
He is messy but he's kind
He is lonely most of the time
He is all of this distilled
And made in a beautiful wine
He is gone but he used to be here.
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And makes you believe it's all true
And it’s not what was asked for
If I'm honest I know I would give it all up
For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or two
Who’ll be reckless just enough
But who’ll learn how to toughen up when he's bruised
And gets used by a man who can't love
And then he'll get stuck and smothered
By the mire all around him
Will it finally remind him
To bring back the fire in his eyes
That's been gone but used to be there
He is messy but he's kind
He is lonely most of the time
He is all of that distilled and made in a beautiful wine
He is gone but he used to be there.
