Used To Be

©2005 Aaron Molho

Another Prom Queen Moved to Hollywood
Still she was one of a kind
But all the hustlers and attitudes
Bled her of the innocence that made her shine

And you think that you know how it feels
To be used for youth over beers

Oh, have they had enough?
Oh, has she had enough?

Cause she used to be beautiful
She used to turn heads on the strip
And she still turning heads
Now she's turning them away instead

No one denied the talent or the voice
Of that seasoned troubadour
But his rare and style made him a risky choice
For the suits who already knew what they were looking for

And I don't think that I know how he feels
To be an artist ignored by his peers
Oh have they had enough
Oh has he had enough

He used to be beautiful
He used to write songs in his sleep
And he's still writing songs
Yeah he's writing them in the streets

Bridge:

There's no one to blame
They all played their part
Cause it's plain see
how dying weeds
eventually
Feed the Flower seeds

'Cause they want to be beautiful
They want to have dreams of their own
And they still have dreams
But they're keeping them up at night

They used to be beautiful
They used to have dreams of their own
And they still have dreams
But they're keeping them to themselves.
