THE WAY IT USED TO BE

THE WAY IT USED TO BE

R&B / Soul — nostalgic, emotional, late-night vibe

Intro

Yeah...

Saundo... you hear that

Sometimes I don't miss the person...

I miss the way we used to be.

Verse 1

We used to talk until the morning light

Never needed reasons just to stay all night

You knew my secrets, I knew all of yours

Now we barely even talk anymore

I remember dancing in your living room

Laughing like we'd never see a rainy afternoon

You'd hold me close whenever I felt low

Somewhere along the way, we let it go

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

We had our favorite song on repeat

Barefoot underneath the summer heat

You'd steal my hoodie, I'd steal your kiss

Tell me how we ever got to this

Now I drive past places that we knew

Every little corner reminds me of you

I don't wanna blame you, don't blame me

Maybe some things aren't meant to stay

Pre-Chorus

I still remember your perfume

The way you used to fill the room

And even though we're worlds apart

There's still a piece of you inside my heart

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

Bridge

If I could have one night again

I'd meet you where our story began

No arguments, no goodbye

Just you and me underneath that sky

I wouldn't change a single thing

I'd listen when you started speaking

And if tomorrow never came

I'd hold you close and say your name

Final Chorus

I miss the way it used to be

When loving you came naturally

Before forever started feeling temporary

Before we became two strangers with a memory

I miss the way you looked at me

I miss the way you believed in me

Maybe we can't go back, I know

But part of me will never let it go

Outro

The way it used to be...

The way you used to hold me...

The way we used to laugh...

The way we used to love...

Yeah...

Saundo...

I still remember.
