[Intro]
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Ooh, oh, yeah, oh
Well

[Verse 1]
I remember when I used to love someone
That looked just like you
And also I can remember
The smell of her sweet perfume
She used to tell me things that I used to love
She had her way of getting the best of my heart
And also she had a way of keeping me smiling
But now she's gone

[Chorus]
I used to love someone
But now I'm on the run
She had a hold on me
Stripping the walls of my heart

[Verse 2]
Also I can remember the first day that you came in my life
(Came into my life, oh)
It seemed then that you were a little more open
With all of your thoughts
And the days you used to talk to me
But now I don't know (Know) who you really are (Are no more)
It seems that the look of your eyes
Is that you're drifting off from afar
And you don't even seem the same
It's like you're playing a game with me
[Chorus]
I used to love someone
But now I'm on the run
(Now I'm on the run)
She had a hold on me
Stripping the walls of my heart

[Bridge]
Hmm
The love I once knew (Love that I once knew)
Still has a hold on me (Hold on me)
I've tried, oh, I've tried to love you

[Chorus]
I used to love someone
(But now I'm on the run)
But now I'm on the run
She had a hold on me
Stripping the walls of my heart

[Outro]
But now I'm on the run
She had a hold on me
(She had a hold on me)
Stripping my heart, oh-oh-oh-oh
And I don't know what made me do it
Something came along and blew it
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Someone caught it, someone caught it
I used to love someone
But now I'm on the run from the
From the love I once knew
Stripping the walls of my heart, used to love
That looked just you
Sometimes I could still, scent of you, smell her perfume
She had a hold on me
Stripping, stripping my heart
[Instrumental Break]

It's not that I don't wanna love you
Just can't get over her
Her love, it lingers in my mind
