the way it used to be lyrics

I saw my friend the other day
What a shame we had to meet this way
We took it outside and talked some shit
about his life and what he'd done with it
Some things were good, some things were bad
But you'll never realize just what I had

I can look back now with simlicity
not to who I am, but who I used to be
I remember the way it used to be,
I still remember the way it used to be

I've had good times, and I've had good friends
Then it comes to luck and that's where it ends
I know my place, I know where I'll be
If I make my choices carefully
Regrets I have and the past is gone
I hold my head up and carry on

I can look back now with simplicity
not to who I am but who I used to be
I remember the way it used to be
I still remember the way it used to be

Some things were good, some things were bad
You'll never realize just what I had
I can look back now with simplicity
not to who I am but who I used to be
'Cause I remember the way it used to be
I still remember the way it used to be
