The Man Who Used To Be

Maybe its silly that I'm thinking of you,
At a moment like this I remember the bliss,
Then reality comes crashing down
Until there's nothing left but me and an empty room,
Maybe I'm going crazy
'Cuz when I look at you,
I think of the man who
Could have - should have been,
Now you're only the man
Who used to be... my best friend,
Where has this life brought us
We've come so far just to lose it all,
I can't stand aside to watch you throw it all away,
Though it pains me so I'm walking the other way,
Someday you'll turn to reach for me
And find that I'm no longer there,
One day I just realized I can't live in this despair,
I've wasted years waiting for you,
Perhaps you had no intention of coming back
But yet you wouldn't let me go,
But now I'm pulling away even if you can't see,
I waited far too long for a friend who will never be,
If I stay by your side
You'll drag me down into darkness,
And though I will walk away
I promise I'll not forget,
For when I close my eyes
Its your face I see,
Someday you'll turn to reach for me
And find that I'm no longer there,
For you've become the man
who used to be...
