lyrics

How It Used to Be
by John Beccia

What’s with all this fightin’? What’s with all the fuss?
Why do we let little things so pesterin’ keep festerin’ inside of us.
What’s with all this yellin’ ? What’’s with all the crap?
All about how we never loved each other in the first place
and we just got trapped.

REFRAIN - How we just carry on in abusing you and me
Now we can’t base our lives on a love that used to be
How it used to be

Why are we still hiding..........from what we see through?
Feeling’s that we had have turned bad and the facts leave us so confused.
Why are we still trying...........to salvage what we can?
Guessing what we mean in the scheme of a dream getting out of hand.
REPEAT REFRAIN

What’s with all this crying? Living out these fears.
Caught inside this life of charade then betrayed by the falling tears.
Why don’t we just chuck it? Throw it out the door
Is it true that we would if we could, then we should never ask for more
REPEAT REFRAIN
