Used To Be - 27 Miles to Empty

I'm sorry that I showed up late Ain't been keepin' track of time I got so much on my plate Trying not to lose my mind Sorry if I said some shit that I mean, yeah I'm just trying to get back to the friend that I used to be I'm sorry I don't let you in It's a little dark inside What would happen if you saw Everything behind these eyes? I've seen some things, I swear to God I wish that I couldn't see, yeah I'm just trying to get back to the lover I used to be 'Cause I'm throwin' punches at demons I can't even see And I'm puttin' trust into things that I don't believe And sometimes when I look in the mirror, it ain't even me I'm just trying to get back to the person I used to be I'm sorry that I woke you up Know I shouldn't do these drugs Only you could understand Just how hard I am to love I know that you can still see the happy child in me I'm just trying to get back to the son that I used to be 'Cause I'm throwin' punches at demons I can't even see And I'm puttin' trust into things that I don't believe And sometimes when I look in the mirror, it ain't even me I'm just trying to get back to the person I used to be Yeah, I'm just trying to get back to the person I used to be

If you still loved me, we wouldn't be apart And I'd be lying next to you without this broken heart If you still loved me If you still loved me, then we'd be making plans And you'd be holding on to me instead of that other man If you still loved me If you still loved me If you still loved me They all told me I should run away They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain They all warned me Said you weren't the one I should have listened Instead of saying they were wrong I should have listened Maybe I should have run If you still loved me Then you would be right here And I'd be holding on to you instead of this empty beer If you still loved me You wouldn't wonder why You'd be saying I do instead of just goodbye If you still loved me If you still loved me They all told me I should run away They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain They all warned me Said you weren't the one I should have listened Instead of saying they were wrong I should have listened Maybe I should have run

If I said I wasn't lonely, I'd be lying All my days are grey now that you're gone When I'm not right next to you I'm dying Wish we had more time to get it wrong I wish I would have told you that I missed you so much Bartender, wanna help me out and fill my empty cup When I think of you I just don't know what to do I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone When I think of you I just don't know what to do I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone You're Gone How many countless nights will I lay alone in bed How many one-night stands will it take me to forget How many broken hearts do I have to call? Until you answer me these tears are gonna fall I Wish I could have held you just one more time Bartender, keep on coming till I'm down to my last dime Yeah yeah When I think of you I just don't know what to do I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone When I think of you I just don't know what to do I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone Oh, I'm never gonna be the same now that you're gone

I've been noticing my clothes fit A little bit looser Worried is an understatement When you don't have a future Schizophrenic borderline, hear it in my sleep Dying is a victory if it will bring me peace Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know I've been noticing my bones show A little bit clearer I don't recognize who I see Reflected in the mirror Thinner, I'm not bitter of the cards that I've been dealt I would give up everything to be somebody else Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Try every night to swallow more than my pride But I'm starving to be empty I bite my tongue so I don't feed off your love 'Cause I'm starving to be empty Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know

What are you doing for the rest of your life Since you've been gone I've nothing inside I carry your heart I wanna follow all the time We've else to go before we sleep Your eyes are dark and deep What are you doing for the rest of your life Perhaps I've afraid of mine it's called by a certain change of heart Was called by certain change of heart What are you doing?

Sunny days and sweet romances, Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by. Time has gone, and far behind you Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. Feel as if it's now or never, We can make it last for ever, Don't ask why. Closer to you, don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you. In the evening, dancing shadows Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free. In our world of empty spaces Strangers in familiar places, you and me. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been. There's no need to wonder whether Happiness we'll share together Can't it be Closer to you, I don't ever find my way, Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay. Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day Closer to you, I will live my life Closer to you. So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen, Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.
