Lyrics

It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they came, took it away

And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say
 
And I have never been so happy
And I have never been so sad
I hope to hell that you can join me
‘Cause you’re the best I ever had

It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they came, took it away

And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say

And I have never been so happy
And I have never been so sad
I hope that you can join me
‘Cause you’re the best I ever had
Yeah

I have never been so happy
I have never been so sad
Hope to hell that you can join me
‘Cause you’re the best I ever had

And I have never been so happy
I have never been so sad
Hope to hell that you can join me
‘Cause you’re the best I ever had

It used to be mine
It used to be mine
It used to be mine
Took it away
It used to be mine
It used to be mine
It used to be mine
Took it away

And now I don’t know why you offered
It used to be so pretty cool

It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it, took it away

And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything then that you say

And I don’t see why you do that
It’s up to me now if you can
And I was all innovation
And so you lie the best you can

It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it away
It used to be mine but they took it, took it away

And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything that you say
And I don’t believe anything, thing that you say

And I don’t see why you do that
Cross my fingers if you can
And I will ...if you join us
And I love you if I can
