The Old Days

How can things be the way they use to be?
The days when I loved you and you loved me
Our love was so strong
But where did we go wrong?

We did bad things to each other
that destroyed feelings that can never be recovered
Feelings that shined through our hearts and souls
That could be very touching if they were to unfold

Our love had a hold on me
The hold that brightens my soul and made me happy
We had the love every couple was jealous of
No one could stand to see us together because we were in love

Our love took me on an adventure where I've never been
And I have to admit that I loved it when we took it there
I could go out and have fun with other men
But to our love, no other man can compare

Being with you in the old days mad me happy
Now, the vibe is sickening because it's mixed with many different feelings
The old days had us feeling good and fine
But goodbye to them all because here is where we have to draw the line
