like i used to

Do you remember the time,

We cried in the supermarket?

You said ‘I don’t know what we’re missing, darling,

I just know that we’ve lost it’

And I tried to take your hand

You left without paying

We sat on the sidewalk, quietly

I heard you saying

I just wish it felt like it used to

I wish I could help, like I used to

But you won’t let me, will you?

You ordered a taxi

And I complain about the price of this city

But I won’t let you pay for it

Well if that isn’t irony

And then at the red light

You told me that I’ve been bittersweet

And I remember thinking

Is that all that I’m ever gonna be?

I just wish it felt like it used to

I wish I could help like I used

But you don’t want me, do you?

I sat in my kitchen

And I watched MTV

I remember thinking

I wish I got groceries

"Woah, slow down,

Things definitely can get heavy at times

But once you shift the focus from

What you think other people want from you

To being ‘what do you want from yourself’

It’s not gonna be like this forever

I hope you’re ok, and I’m sending you my love"
