Trevor Menear - Used To Be Real Lyrics

There was a time growing up
I looked at your hands as they wrapped round your cup
I was so thin, you barely spoke
Together to early to think of a joke
Now you're drinking it up
And our conversation died in your cup
God damn, this can't be the plan
To be like the ones that you see in the stands

Was it alright?
How did it feel to get that far gone?
Where you alright?
How did it feel, to forget it all now?
You used to be real
You were my queen

Could be but won't be the last
The last time I sing these songs for you
Typical threads are now stitched in your shoes
And I see it again, yeah it's killing me, too
It's killing me too

Was it alright?
How did it feel, to get that far gone?
Were you alright?
How did it feel, to forget it all now?
Did they buy, when they got you to give up your rags for their change?
Were you alright?
Were you, were you alright?

Don't wait for me child
It's useless again, we're just going to bed
Don't wait for my words
Case love can't be saved we both know it's been dead

So was it alright?
How did it feel, to get that far gone?
Where you alright?
How did it feel, to forget it all, now?
To forget it, to forget it all now
You used to be real
You were my queen
How did it feel?
To forget everything
