How You Once Loved Me

There are things that I did long ago
 That I don't do anymore
 We grow out of things
 Each day is different
 Than the day before
 And yet to love you
 I just have to breathe
 There are needs we have
 When we are young
 And discard as we mature
 Time can change so much
 The only certain thing is
 Nothing's sure
 And yet to love you
 I just have to breathe
 It's not an easy place
 This world we face
 But I'll face anything
 As long as that warm morning sun
 Will always bring me you
 There's a time for everything we do
 When it's over we move on
 Just true love remains
 And I'll still love you
 When all else is gone
 For me to love you
 I just have to breathe
 In this world where nothing stays the same
 Stay with me
 I've passed the point of reason
 Of caring how I feel
 What used to matter most to me
 Has no importance now
 I wish I knew how to love again
 I kept most all your presents
 In the bureau down the hall
 And when I'm into hurting me
 I look them through
 And I think of you, and how you loved me
 How you once loved me
 How we once loved
 How could I ever know
 You meant to love me so
 We got so far to go
 How could you ever know
 I meant to love you, too
 There are no rhymes or reasons
 Why people carry on
 From the day young girls discover
 They're different from little boys
 And love is just a toy
 They can play with
 And we were just as foolish
 Now I can't be that way
 Maybe you feel just as strange
 And too afraid to say
 I can find a way to say I love you
 How you once loved me
 How we once loved
 How could I ever know
 You meant to love me so
 We got so far to go
 How could you ever know
 I meant to love you, too
