Life's Just Not The Way It Used To Be

Somehow things just never came together
Fate had different plans for you and me
Love used to be the most important thing in life
But life's just not the way it used to be

If lovin' someone all the way
Is gone for good with yesterday
Then what am I?
I'm just a fool who pays no mind
I'm out of step, out of time
And I wanna die

I'll love you so but I don't know the answers
And I know so well that you're in love with me
Love used to be the most important thing in life
But life's just not the way it used to be
No, life's just not the way it used to be
