[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I used to be l
ike you
Digging, searc
hing, scratchi
ng for the tru
th
I thought my m
ind was made u
p
Didn't think I
'd need to wak
e up
Til it only le
ft a hole deep
inside
[Verse 2]
I used to lie
awake
Hoping there's
salvation in
the skies
Well they say
there's someon
e up there
Some see love
and some say u
nfair
[Pre-Chorus]
Til' the thund
er sounds
And the critic
s leave the ro
om
[Chorus]
Now I'm walkin
g on a road
Only Heaven co
uld've shown
And I'm starti
ng to see the
light
And I'm jumpin
g on in and th
e water it fee
ls just fine
And I know wha
t you would sa
y
"I don't wanna
go that way"
I remember wha
t that was lik
e
Cause I used t
o be like you
Oh just like y
ou, like you
[Verse 3]
I used to beli
eve a lie (a l
ie, it's just
a little lie)
That some of u
s find other w
ays and that's
alright
You go your wa
y I'll go my w
ay
I made truth a
two-way highw
ay
[Pre-Chorus]
Til' it caught
my eye
And I couldn't
look away
[Chorus]
Now I'm walkin
g on a road
Only Heaven co
uld've shown
And I'm starti
ng to see the
light
And I'm jumpin
g on in and th
e water it fee
ls just fine
And I know wha
t you would sa
y
"I don't wanna
go that way"
I remember wha
t that was lik
e
Cause I used t
o be just like
you
[Bridge]
I don't wann
a live a fairy
tale while I'm
on the ground
Maybe everyo
ne's just diff
erent (I was j
ust like you)
Who's to say
, who's to say
you got it al
l figured out
somehow (Oh no
)
[Interlude]
Used to be tha
t way
Thought I'd ne
ver change
Oh I used to b
e that way
There ain't no
thing like Jes
us Christ
My Love, my Lo
rd, my Shining
Light (oh I u
sed to, and I
used to, yea)
You can hold o
nto your selfi
sh pride, but
There ain't no
thing like Jes
us Christ
[Pre-Chorus]
Til' He caught
my eye
And I couldn't
look away
[Chorus]
Now I'm walkin
g on a road
Only Heaven co
uld've shown
And I'm starti
ng to see the
light
And I'm jumpin
g on in and th
e water it fee
ls just fine
And I know wha
t you would sa
y
"I don't wanna
go that way"
I remember wha
t that was lik
e
Cause I used t
o be
Oh I used to b
e
I used to be l
ike you
Oh just like y
ou, like you,
like you
Used to be
Oh just like y
ou, like you,
like you yea
