I Miss How Things Used to Be

[Verse 1] I said it quietly over dinner last night You barely looked up from the screen I said I miss how things used to be But that's not really what I mean What I mean is I miss the way you'd look at me Like I was the only thing in the room I miss being chosen before everything else I miss feeling like I matter to you [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking for the world I'm asking for a moment Where you put it all aside And make me feel it [Chorus] Chances are When she says she misses the way things were Chances are She's been waiting to feel chosen She's not talking about the past She's talking about right now Chances are She just wants to know you'd still choose her somehow [Verse 2] I smiled and said never mind it's fine The way I always do Because asking feels like begging now And I'm too tired to push through But somewhere in the silence Between the routines and the rush There's a woman still hoping That she hasn't asked for too much [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking for the world I'm asking for a moment Where you put it all aside And make me feel it [Chorus] Chances are When she says she misses the way things were Chances are She's been waiting to feel chosen She's not talking about the past She's talking about right now Chances are She just wants to know you'd still choose her somehow [Bridge] You are not broken And neither is she She's just a woman Who needs to believe That after all the years And all the ordinary days You still see her You still choose her In a hundred little ways [Final Chorus] Chances are When she says she misses the way things were Chances are She's been waiting to feel chosen She's not talking about the past She's talking about right now Chances are She just wants to know you'd still choose her somehow [Outro] Chances are She just wants to feel chosen Chances are She still believes you will And most important, you are extraordinary
