The Way They Used to Be

~

I'm in love with a boy who used to be my best friend
The one who made me believe I could touch the sky
He talked me through 'til dawn on the nights I thought would never end
And then he was gone in the blink of an eye.

I didn't leave, and neither did he
But my heart was so blind before, that I couldn't see
The most amazing boy in the whole wide world was right in front of me
But I didn't know it
And now I can only hope and pray, that maybe one day
things will go back to the way they used to be.

I'm in love with a boy who always makes me smile
The one who told me never to give up on myself
He told me it was alright to cry
And that made me realize that I want nobody else.

But now he loves somebody else, and she's prettier than me
'Cause my heart was so blind before, that I couldn't see
The most amazing boy in the whole wide world was right in front of me
But I didn't know it
And now I can only hope and pray, that maybe one day
things will go back to the way they used to be.

I'm in love with a boy who used to stare at me when he thought I didn't know
The one who drove me crazy with his mischievous grin
He's never given me roses, and he's no Romeo
But I still fell the hardest for him.

I know he loves her even more than he used to love me
'Cause my heart was so blind before, that I couldn't see
The most amazing boy in the whole wide world was right in front of me
But I didn't know it
And now I can only hope and pray, that maybe one day
things will go back to the way they used to be.

I'm still in love with him, and he still doesn't know
I'd never tell him, but I can't just let it go
I know I lost my chance with him, a long time ago
But my heart says maybe it can't hurt to hope.

Why didn't I notice, way back when he loved me?
Why was my heart was so blind before, that I couldn't see
The most amazing boy in the whole wide world was right in front of me?
But I didn't know it
And now I can only hope and pray, that maybe one day
things will go back to the way they used to be.

I don't think he'll ever realize
He's the last thought in my mind before I sleep
And I start to melt whenever I look into his eyes
But he's already gotten over me.
