Lyrics for Used To Be as interpreted by JonnyDaKid

Used To Be Lyrics
You are coming home
Are you still alone
Are you not the same as you used to be

You are coming home
Are you still alone
Are you not the same as you used to be

As the sun grows high
and you serve your time
Does each day just feel like another lie

Now you know
is it just for show
Just a foolish game that you hide behind

Don't forget the nights
when it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be
Used to be

In an endless night
could you feel the fright
Of an age that was and could never be

We hold it close
when we feel the most
Like a love that we could not leave behind

Turn the wheel
to which way we feel
Till I’m lost and knock and not find you there

Don't forget the nights
when it all felt right
Are you not the same as you used to be
Used to be

Even if I tried so hard
would we still be coming to an end
Even if we spoke the same words
would we still be termed as friends

Even if its simple from the start
(we could stay until the summer)
we will give the pieces of our hearts
(see what happens to the other)
and when there is nothing left to pretend
(we could stay inside all summer)
we will now its coming to an end
(see what happens to the other)

Even if we tried so hard
(we could wait until the summer)
we will give the pieces of our hearts
(see what happens to the other)
It's always good to see you again
(we could stay inside all summer)
even if its come to an end
(see what happens to the other)


We could wait until the summer
see what happens to the other
We could stay inside all summer
see what happens to the other

Why hasn't anyone commented this?
I heard this song while I was driving, I was so enticed!
I don't have an idea for the meaning to this song sometimes it just better to listen.

I adore this song. To me it's about two people in a relationship that used to be really happy together but now, later on in the relationship, things are changed and it's just like they're existing in a lie by being together. I think they're both afraid to let go of the love they once knew but in the end they know it's inevitable that they're going to split up. And they're asking themselves that if they could try again, would it still work out? But they know that it will always come to the same ending. But maybe they could take time off from each other until the summer, and then see where they stand. And maybe spend their time together that whole summer, and see if things could work out again. If not, it's always nice to spend time in the company of someone you once loved.

That's what I got from it.

It seems to there is a mistake in the lyrics. It should be:

'We turn the wheel
to which way we feel
Till I'm lost and I cannot find you there'


It's sad that friendship comes to an end too. Great song anyway..

it's definitely interesting to see what kind of people two lovers grow into after the fire of a relationship has died out. she hits upon several relatable feelings that come out in the form of unanswered questions: can they be friends? do they enjoy being alone or was it better together, just with that company? is it a lie to be together? or is it a lie to be a part? even if it was given another go, would it just end up the same way it did?

agh, that's a lot of questions. but that seems to be the point of this song. and in the end, it's a good idea to just take some time from each other and start fresh... or at least as fresh as you can get. haha. my answer would be to let the questions and the worry drift away and get better, feel like separate, unique people again, and if the spark is still there, if they still collide, they will see...

The turmoil of touring,
but it can be used for all sorts of relationships
once folks have been together for awhile.

We can say the same things, but do we really mean them?
Don't forget the nights...they won't,

but the end has a hopeful tone
