The Postelles - Mr. Used To Be lyrics

He used to be so cool The kids would say at school "He's gonna be a star, you know." Now he's all he has His birthday was a drag He wrote himself a card, you know So he sits at home every night Watching reruns he pretends to like And he hopes that his friends will all call But, he's all alone, all alone Mr. Used To Be, why do you feel so bad? Don't you know the world was always at your feet? Mr. Used To Be, why do you seem so sad? As you grow, the world will just get up and leave Whoah, she was a beauty queen Already peaked at seventeen Looks, they don't last long, you know She would try to dance for boys who loved romance Working gets so hard, you know She sits at home every night Watching reruns she pretends to like And she hopes that her friends will all call But, she's all alone, all alone Mrs. Used To Be, why do you feel so bad? Don't you know the world was always at your feet? Mrs. Used To Be, why do you seem so sad? As you grow, the world will just get up and leave So they sit at home every night Watching reruns they pretend to like When together, they think they believe That they still are who they used to be
