What used to be...

There are three beautiful words I used to say // But now all those feelings have gone away

There was one person I used to love // And now I love my God above 

There was a touch I used to crave // That was before I learned to be brave

There were lips I longed to kiss // But now they're not something I miss

There was a heart and it was mine // It was weak, but I said "I'm fine"

There once were two beautiful hands // That with a touch, I'd be in a distant land

There was a boy who said he'd give me the world // Now I'm left with my thoughts in a whirl

There were two words that would make me melt // "you're beautiful" and like a queen, I felt

There was a voice that could get inside my brain // And he was the only one to blame 

There were eyes I used to get lost in // That would dry my tears and make me whole again

But now that's gone and I'm alone // And there is one thing I wish I'd known

That your first love shouldn't be a "he" // But it should be only one person: me.
