Someone You Once Had

Were you always so good at pushing people away?
Running from everyone till they give up the chase
Is it just in your bones to get a little too close
And shut off your emotions?
Were you always so good at making mistakes?

I was ready to give it all to you
When you left me, you said you'd come home soon

But if you have to lose me to want me bad
Give up on us to see what we have
You should know better
I would never let you love me after that
If you have to leave me to see you care
Move on to find that you want me there
If you have to go, then
You should know when you come back
I'll just be someone you once had

Thought there wasn't a thing that could tear us apart
I would never expect it to because of your heart
After all of these years, it just ended in tears
'Cause you can't keep a promise
Thought there wasn't a thing that could tear us apart

But if you have to lose me to want me bad
Give up on us to see what we have
You should know better
I would never let you love me after that
If you have to leave me to see you care
Move on to find that you want me there
If you have to go, then
You should know when you come back

I'll just be someone you once had (love me after that)
Someone you once had (love me after that)
I was ready to give it all to you
When you left me, you said you'd come home soon

But if you have to lose me to want me bad
Give up on us to see what we have
You should know better
I would never let you love me after that
If you have to leave me to see you care
Move on to find that you want me there
If you have to go, then
You should know when you come back

I'll just be someone you once had (love me after that)
Someone you once had (love me after that)
I'll just be someone you once had
