Love Me Like You Used To

And at the start I was wishing I could be anything you’d want.
I’ve been living with strangers who haunt my thoughts.
Nice guys finish last, I take pride in that.
Caged in the now, broke free from my past.
We walk the same streets but have different views
You see change, I see cavalier youth

So love me like you used to
When I couldn’t lose you
Why, is it goodbye?

And at the end judges point out my flaws, with so much ease.
You were building my self esteem, just to suck it out of me.
I’m not broken but I’m close to the edge.
Need fewer enemies than I have friends.
I hope that I will see you there,
I hope I will see you there.

So love me like you used to
When I couldn’t lose you
Why, is it goodbye?
And just love me like you need me.
Oh, just can’t you need me?
Why, why?

And now
The things that matter most
The things I can’t decide
If I want.
So this time I will realize.
This time I will sacrifice,
Whatever it takes,
Whatever it takes.

So love me like you used to
When I couldn’t lose you
Why, why?

Just love me,
Just love me,
Just love me.
Oh no.
