lyrics

I woke up that fateful day
Wondered where my future lay
You turned my world upside down
Because you said you loved me.

Wavy wavy dark black hair
Smiling face I had no care
intoxicating liqueur store
beckons me no more... we sometimes.

I liked the way I used to be
I liked the way I used to be
Sad and lonely in my tree
I was comfortable you see
But I suppose that now I’m free

You opened up my eyes that day
I couldn’t think of what to say
I was sad and happy
Both at the same time

I look out of the window
See her standing there
As my face turns green
I wondered where my heart has been... in my stomach

I liked the way I used to be
I liked the way I used to be
Sad and lonely in my tree
I was comfortable you see
But I suppose that now I’m free

Well it’s getting on and I’m feeling old
My bodies young but my mind is mouldy
Those early moments appear again
They tell me what its all about

So here I sit alone today
Two years or so the game we’ve played
Roller coaster up and down
I’m sure I’m getting better now... so happy

I liked the way I used to be
I liked the way I used to be
Sad and lonely in my tree
I was comfortable you see
But I suppose that now I’m free

I never thought I’d hear myself
Say I was so happy
I suppose now I’m free.
