I met you on a side street
Didn’t know it right away
I met you in an alley
I couldn’t know how far you’d strayed
I find you at your good place
That you wanted to make home
Didn’t know the road would call you back
And leave me all alone


We’ve been around this so many times
I Used To Cry


Well I knew you were a charmer
But the man I met was strong
Had your guitar and your smile
And your suitcase full of songs
Well I thought, our path was the same
But I lost you to another
To a lover with no name


We’ve been around this so many times
I Used To Cry


I dreamt you looking past your shoulder
Past the trees and past the road
Past the people and the choices
That have held you down so low
I could ask what’s more important
But it’s not your choice to make
When its got its deathly hold on you
Seems like nothin’ makes it break


We’ve been around and ‘roun and ‘round and ‘round
I Used To Cry


Will you wait for your own rescue
With your head up off the ground
Will you take care of your own hand
Or be the last one to be found
Will I even know which road to drive down?
Scanning for your face
Or am I just waiting for that final phone call
Waiting helpless everyday


We’ve been around and ‘roun and ‘round and ‘round…
I Used To Cry
I Used To Cry
I Used To Cry
I Used To Cry
