Of all the things you used to do

"Of all those things you used to do" 
my heart will not go through again 
Love is lost no more flame is felt 
your heart brittle from it's coldness

All the cute nicknames stay the same
"Of all those things you used to do"
"now here comes your secret lover" 
how you fancy her more than me 


"Until your guilt goes up in flames"
No more poor me or pity me 
"Of all those things you used to do"
 has set my world free and at last

"I got a few years on me now"
Learning from mistakes such as you
free at last to live my own life
"of all those things you used to do"



"Until your guilt goes up in flames"
Sheryl Crow
"Now here comes your secret lover"
