Love Me Like You Used To

You Me At Six · Cavalier Youth [2014]

And at the start, I was wishing I could be anything you'd want.

I've been living with strangers here that haunt my thoughts.

Nice guys finish last, I take part in that.

Can't change it now, running straight from my past.

We walk the same streets, but have different views.

You see change, I see cavalier youth



So love me like you used to

When I couldn't lose you

Why is it goodbye?



And at the end of this point,

On my floors, were so much waste.

You have brought up my self-esteem just to suck it out of me.

I know I'm broken, but I'm closer to the edge.

If you have enemies, then I have friends.

I hope that I will see you there.

I hope I will see you there.



So love me like you used to

When I couldn't lose you

Why is it goodbye?

Just love me like you need me

Oh just can't you need me?

Why, why can now the things that matter most,

the things I can't decide, if I want.

So this time I will realign

This time I will sacrifice

Whatever that it takes

Whatever that it takes



So love me like you used to

When I couldn't lose you

Why, why?

Just love me

Just love me

Just love me
