i brought you here
so that i could express the things i've been thinking about
give me your ear coz i don't normally do this
so bear with me through this
that i wanna say
but let me start by simply sayin
i thank you

darling just because
i used to love someone that i didn't like
we used to wanna break up every other night
i used to think relationships were a lot of stress
i used to think that pain was a part of happiness
now all that's changed since you've come my way
but i don't want us to become
another used to be.

i hope what i'm saying
don't discourage you in any kind of way
coz i do believe
that you have the potential to be everything i need
i hope that you can really understand
that i would hate to be with someone new

now that you're here
it's evidently clear
i don't have to worry
that i don't ever have to have this worry again

***

i don't want us to be another used to be...
