Bleu Edmondson - The Future Ain't What It Used To Be Lyrics

She had a smile that would make you put your faith in the Lord
She was the unspoken truth I was lookin for,
I was a bitter-hearted twister, I was a refugee,
Just a scared little boy lost at sea.

She said she kissed my lips and she just knew
And in her sunset eyes I saw it too,
but this world has a way of breaking you down
‘Til the fire that burned now can’t be found.

I guess no one really knows the price that’s paid and
There aint no heart that goes scot-free
I hear the bells ringing from far away and
The future aint what it used to be.

When it turned to dust I cannot say,
I guess she lost her faith when I lost my way.
Though I loved her more than I dreamed I could,
A coward now stands where a hero stood.

Chorus

From the outstretched hand that I denied,
To the anguished tears that sunset cried,
From the hurt in the dark, the fear and the doubt,
She couldn’t give anymore, her love ran out.
