The Way Things Used To Be

This is not the way things are supposed to be

Can't put things aside while I swim in my misery

I can't sort things out as the past circles around my mind

I'm on the edge of despair waiting for you to remember

The way things used to be

I wish you could forgive for all of my sins

I wish you could be grateful for the many other things

I wish you would not throw in my face every single mistake I have made

I wish i did not have to take these things to my grave

This is not the way I meant to carry on

Every single moment I've got you on my mind

I can't get past your anger as stumble through your days

I'm on the edge of jumping off of this mysterious cosmic maze

The way things used to be

I wish you could forgive me for this burning in my heart

I wish you could have faith in those dreams you had from the start

I wish you would not throw at my face every mistake I have made

I wish I did not have to take these things to my grave
