theres a girl
that you might know
shes a friend
at least i tell you so
but it might surprise you to find
theres something going
on behind the door

when im asleep
it gives me time to think
thoughts that i wouldnt
dare speak aloud
i couldnt bare myself
before a crowd

i bide my time while
biting my tongue
hold closed my mouth
so song is unsung
get to the meat of things already
with buried secrets the
ground is heavy
thats just the way things
used to be
thats just the way things
used to be

theres a girl whos close to me
closer than youd like to think
dig up all the dirt you see
theres always more just underneath

i bide my time while
biting my tongue
hold closed my mouth
so song is unsung
get to the meat of things already
with buried secrets the
ground is heavy
thats just the way things
used to be
thats just the way things
used to be
thats just the way things
used to be

used to be
