Jaded

I used to think life was a song, but the music’s flat 

and the rhythm’s gone out of my mind

I used to think the future’s bright, but the sun has set

taking the light away with it

I used to think time’s on my side, but the moment went 

out with the tide left me behind

I used to think love was a jewel, but the ring pronounced 

me as a fool so full of it

Well I’m not the girl I used to be 
when I was full of hope and possibility

The magic’s lost and my rainbows have all faded

I’m not the girl now who can dance 
out in the rain of circumstance

The clouds are dark, my heart is barricaded, and I’m jaded

I used to feel the chords I strum, they played with me 

when I was young, they’re quiet now

I used to feel simple and pure, but now I’m reckless and 

unsure how to handle it

I used to feel light on my feet, when waltzing to my own heartbeat 

was stilled somehow

I used to feel my faith was strong, but now I’m crying 

all night long, so deal with it

For I’m not the girl I used to be 
when I was full of hope and possibility

The magic’s lost and my rainbows have all faded

I’m not the girl now who can dance 
out in the rain of circumstance

The clouds are dark, my heart is barricaded, and I’m jaded

I used to pray please save me from the empty person I’ve become

I used to pray when I believed there was a way to rescue me

But I’m not the girl I used to be 
when I was full of hope and possibility

The magic’s lost and my rainbows have all faded

I’m not the girl now who can dance 
out in the rain of circumstance
The clouds are dark, my heart is barricaded, and I’m jaded
