i used to love her.

I loved you once.
For such a long time.
Before I met you I loved you
And then I met you and I loved you more.
You gave off a light brighter then the sun...
Just breathing the air around you made sense.
I felt free with you
Like there was so much I could do
So much I wanted to do.
You were dirty, and you were dangerous
And it only made me love you more.
You were temptation,
the (big) apple I was warned about.

I loved you once.
Before I met you I loved you
And then I met you and I loved you more.
Love doesn't always last though.
You did nothing wrong.
It wasn't you, it was me.
Someone better will come along.
But I'll always remember our love affair.
And maybe one day I'll give it another try,
Cause we sure did have some great times,
New York and I.
