Used to Be

It was a dangerous summer You came at me like a bar fight It makes you wonder If we were different humans at a different time If we both would've tried working If we held each other tight Maybe a kid would've made it worth it But there's just something I don't Recognize (Burning down Los Angeles) The way it used to be (Cigarettes and whiskey kiss) You don't have to lie (Leave me with all of this) But you don't have to leave (Your cigarettes and whiskey kiss) I guess change is the only constant Maybe life isn't that strange 5 long years into 14 boxes A new apartment, but without the rings If it doesn't make you feel like the dream ain't real then, baby, that's your smoking gun You don't have to justify or tell me why, but it might help you become Someone I don't Recognize (Burning down Los Angeles) The way it used to be (Cigarettes and whiskey kiss) You don't have to lie (Leave me with all of this) But you don't have to leave (Your cigarettes and whiskey kiss) You can clear out the evidence we were ever here before Like you tore up that carpet and put down a wood floor But it's an old goddamn house, it'll creak and it'll moan anyways Recognize (Burning down Los Angeles) The way it used to be (Cigarettes and whiskey kiss) You don't have to lie (Leave me with all of this) But you don't have to leave (Your cigarettes and whiskey kiss)
