Used to Believe by Ted Leo Lyrics

I used to believe in someone who could never be painted for false
I was that someone certain but wrong, who wouldn’t deceive

I used to believe in something that could never be taken apart
Young and united, fighting of course, and happy to be

I used to believe in something like a magical chemical spark
I used to believe we could free it now, and I want to believe that alone in your arms again

I used to believe that the best you could do with it all
Was rise to the sorrow and everyday try to [?] the lost cause

And I want to believe that alone in your arms again
I used to believe

I used to believe we'd be comfortably settled by now
Settled right down (down, down, down)
