A poignant narrative of love lost and longing, this track delves into the emotional journey of reminiscing about a past relationship. The protagonist is caught in a paradox of yearning for the person his beloved once was, while wrestling with the reality that she has changed. He finds himself searching for traces of her old self in others, a futile quest that only deepens his sense of loss. The lyrics underscore the heartache of holding onto memories that no longer align with present circumstances. It's a stark reminder that people change and sometimes, they drift apart from who we remember them to be. Ultimately, it's a melancholic ode to accepting change and learning to let go.
Used to Be
Lyrics
I keep walking
I keep talking to every cute girl I see
I keep looking
I keep searching for a girl that you used to be
'Cause before all this
You were loving me, hating me, tell me you're my baby
Calling me, telling me everything that you have just been through
And I'd say, "Okay, my baby, everything will be alright"
I'll never let you out of my sight
'Cause I will hold you in my arms and I'll hold you so tight
Been searching for a girl like you
'Cause no girl has got me through
The things that you've got me through
We used to talk every day and night
But now when we're talking it don't feel right
It don't feel right
You were loving me, hating me, tell me you're my baby
Calling me, telling me everything that you have just been through
And I'd say, "Okay, my baby, everything will be alright"
I'll never let you out of my sight
'Cause I will hold you in my arms and I'll hold you so tight
Be, ohh-oh, oh-ohh-oh
Be, yeah, ohh-oh, oh-ohh-oh
You said that maybe we should hang out soon
You said, "Meet me at your house at noon"
I waited there, you never came to see me
That's why I want the girl that you used to
Be, yeah, yeah, yeah
You were loving me, hating me, tell me you're my baby
Calling me, telling me everything that you have just been through
And I'd say, "Okay, my baby, everything will be alright"
I'll never let you out of my sight
'Cause I will hold you in my arms and I'll hold you so tight
Be, ohh-oh, oh-ohh-oh
Be, yeah, ohh-oh, oh-ohh-ohh
Hmm
I want the girl you used to be
I want that girl you used to be
