You Used to be Fun

Look at you 

There on the couch

Look at the man there

Running his mouth

You think you got it together and you’re so strong

But I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong

(Oh)

Look inside

You’ll find the sun

The man I knew

Used to be fun

You’ve been trying way too hard

And you’ve been crying way too hard 

(Oh)

You spend all your time working

And you convince yourself you’re tough

And you spend all your time hurting

Because it’s never enough

They step on you and don’t play fair

You give them your heart but no one cares

And that’s what you get 

What did you expect

The world’s a nightmare 

But that’s what we’ve got

Maybe you’re not cut out for it

But maybe you are

Yeah, you used to be fun

And not take shit from anyone

You used to spread your love around

Till the grind just wore you down

You used to take it all in stride 

You used to live this life

Look at you

It’s still inside
