I Used To Be The One

by JS   Jul 21, 2004


You talked to me today,
About the way she makes you smile,
It made me happy for you,
But pain lingered all the while,

You told me just last night,
What it's like when he hugs you,
You looked so very glad,
But inside I felt so blue,

You say she makes you laugh,
You've said he's very sweet,
I try to fake a smile,
But inside I feel so cheat,

I used to be the one,
Who would take care of you,
The one you loved and trusted,
And took your problems to,

I used to be the one,
Who helped you when you fell,
To make you feel much better,
And make everything seem well,

I used to be the one,
Who never let you down,
I'd catch you if you fall,
And save you if you drown,

I used to be the one,
Who never left your side,
But the day I was pushed away,
A piece of my heart died,

I used to be the one,
Who wiped away the tears,
With me you felt so safe,
And couldn't remember your fears,

I used to be the one,
You never needed anything more,
But things lately have changed,
And it's me you now ignore,

But now I'm not the one,
I can't make you smile anymore,
Things, they all did change,
When they came through your door,

And now I'm not the one,
Who will help you off the ground,
But you won't let me try,
Because you don't want me around,

And now I'm not the one,
You take your problems to,
Was it something that I said,
What could I possibly do,

And now I'm not the one,
You love with all your might,
We never seem to talk,
And when we do we always fight,

And now I'm not the one,
Who fights off all your fears,
They've taken that from me,
And I cry my silent tears,

And now I'm not the one,
Who will catch you when you fall,
We used to be so equal,
But now you make me feel so small,

And now I'm not the one,
You give all of your love to,
But you have all the love in me,
No matter what you do.
