Used to Believe

I used to believe in someone
Who could never be painted for false
I was that someone, certain but wrong
Who wouldn't deceive
I used to believe in something
That could never be taken apart
Young and united; fighting, of course
And happy to be
I used to believe in something
Like a magic alchemical spark
I used to believe we could free it, now
And I'd want to believe that I'd roll in your arms again

I used to believe
That the best you could do with it all
Was rise to the sorrow of every day
Trying to win a lost cause
I used to believe
And I'd want to believe that I'd roll in your arms again
I used to believe

I used to believe
We'd be comfortably settled by now
Settled right down
