THE WAY IT USED TO BE(Remix)

Verse 1

We used to talk until the morning light

Laughing at nothing, holding on so tight

Now the rooms feel colder than they should

And every little memory cuts like wood

Pre-Chorus

Now your name still lights up my phone

But somehow I still feel alone

Funny how two hearts can change

And nothing ever feels the same

Chorus

I miss the way it used to be

When you were right here next to me

Before the silence, before the tears

Before we let go of all those years

I miss the way you looked at me

Like I was all you'd ever need

Maybe we can't go back, I know

But I still miss the way it used to be

Verse 2

I still drive past the places that we knew

The coffee shop, the park bench built for two

I almost call, then put the phone away

Some things are better left in yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Now your name still lights up my phone

But somehow I still feel alone

Funny how two hearts can change

And nothing ever feels the same

Chorus

I miss the way it used to be

When you were right here next to me

Before the silence, before the tears

Before we let go of all those years

I miss the way you looked at me

Like I was all you'd ever need

Maybe we can't go back, I know

But I still miss the way it used to be

Rap Verse

Yeah...

Phone still buzzin' but it ain't the same tone

Used to be "on my way," now it's just a ghost in my phone

Scrollin' old pictures like I'm stuck in a loop

Same smile, same eyes, different version of you

We built a whole world out of late-night talks

Now I'm talkin' to the ceiling while the silence walks

Funny how the love that felt permanent and true

Can turn into a memory I can't undo

I still got your hoodie, still got that scent

Still got the questions that never got spent

Was it me? Was it time? Was it both of us scared?

Now I'm left with the weight of the years that we shared

Ain't no hate in my chest, just a quiet regret

Wish I could hit rewind but the past don't reset

Bridge

I keep the good days in a quiet place

Where time can't touch them, can't erase

Some love just isn't meant to stay

But damn, it felt so right that way

Final Chorus

I miss the way it used to be

When you were right here next to me

Before the silence, before the tears

Before we let go of all those years

I miss the way you looked at me

Like I was all you'd ever need

Maybe we can't go back, I know...

But God, I miss the way it used to be
