Used To Be

Well, I finally got the nerve to start presenting some of my solo work I have been working on for awhile. This first tune I’m throwing out here is called “Used To Be” so I hope you enjoy it. I really enjoyed making it. In its true essence it is really about forcing round pegs into square holes and fighting it all the way.

Used To Be
Lyrics and music: © 2008 Carol Kroll

Verse 1:
It’s true I’ve been remote
But I’m trying hard to stay afloat
I feel as if
I speak in tongues
I’m torn between what I want to do
Justifying it all to you
Its different now
And we are too

Chorus:
In love with what – used to be
Not sure what its supposed to be
On my guard when you’re close to me
Fighting with what’s come to be
And for what used to be
For what used to be

Verse 2:
It’s not really all that bad you see
People change would you agree
For better
Or for worse
Depends on your point of view
Or what ends up – suiting you
Depends which part
Was well – rehearsed

Chorus:
In love with what – used to be
Not sure what its supposed to be
On my guard when you’re close to me
Fighting with what’s come to be
And for what used to be
For what used to be

Verse 3:
I hide myself away
Debating what I want to I say
I know it wont
Come out right
I waver here, I waver there
Weighing if I really care
I guess don’t
Feel quite right

Chorus:
In love with what – used to be
Not sure what its supposed to be
On my guard when you’re close to me
Fighting with what’s come to be
And what used to be
For what used to be
Not sure what its supposed to be
Fighting with what’s come to be
And for what used to be
For what used to be
For what you used to be
For what _I _ used to be
