[Verse 1]
Oh, I believed in us
Tell me, what are you thinking?
Why can't we make it?
Why would you say those things to me?
If you're trying to break this, just go ahead and say it

[Pre-Chorus]
If you are in love, then why let it go?
Tell me please, what's happened, baby? Oh

[Chorus]
It used to be that you couldn't live without me
But now you think you're better without me
So now it's over
I guess it wasn't true when you said "I love you"
'Cause love just wouldn't count me out

[Verse 2]
I believed in everything you said
If your vow couldn't make it, you shouldn't have made it
How could you let me believe?
You couldn't leave me if you never loved me

[Pre-Chorus]
If you are in love, then why let it go?
Tell me please, what's happened, baby?

[Chorus]
It used to be (Used to be) that you couldn't live without me
(You couldn't breathe without me)
But now you think you're better without me
So now it's over
I guess it wasn't true when you said "I love you"
(Cause I know it would kill me now)
'Cause love just wouldn't count me out

[Bridge]
I wonder why you hurt me
I question all the pain
What would make you wanna leave this way?
What made you say it's over?
What is taking over?
I cannot believe that I loved ya, oh-oh
But it wasn't meant to be
'Cause love wouldn't do this to me
Love used to be, oh...

[Chorus]
It used to be that you couldn't live without me
But now you think you're better without me
So now it's over
I guess it wasn't true when you said "I love you"
'Cause love just wouldn't count me out
It used to be that you couldn't live without me
But now you think you're better without me
So now it's over
I guess it wasn't true when you said "I love you"
'Cause love just wouldn't count me out

[Outro]
It used to be that you couldn't live without me
But now you think you're better without me
So now it's over
I guess it wasn't true when you said "I love you"
