Like You Used To
Love's Echo: Nostalgia in Adam Simons' Melody
Lyrics
Did you know I think about you?
Expressing awareness of thoughts about the person addressed.
Did you know I still care?
Affirming continued care and emotional connection.
Even though we've been drifting apart lately
Acknowledging recent emotional distance in the relationship.
Even though I'm never there
Admitting physical absence despite emotional attachment.
Did you know I cried all last night?
Revealing personal emotional struggle, including crying.
Did you know I'm wearing thin?
Indicating emotional vulnerability and weariness.
And it's dark and it's cold, when I don’t feel you
Describing a lonely and cold emotional state without the person.
Wish I knew if it was the end
Expressing a desire for clarity about the status of the relationship.
Don’t you love me like you used to?
Pleading for a return to the love experienced in the past.
Don’t you love me like you did back then?
Yearning for a revival of past love and emotional connection.
Won't you love me like you used to do?
Requesting a return to previous levels of affection and care.
'Cause I'm still here, like I've always been
Asserting continued presence despite challenges in the relationship.
Did you know it's rained all day?
Highlighting a gloomy atmosphere, possibly reflecting inner emotions.
Did you know I haven’t left the house?
Revealing isolation and a reluctance to engage with the outside world.
Even though I just need someone around
Expressing a need for companionship and emotional support.
I can’t face the world right now
Admitting difficulty in facing challenges independently.
Don’t you love me like you used to?
Reiterating the desire for a return to past expressions of love.
Don’t you love me like you did back then?
Continuing the plea for a rekindling of previous love.
Won't you love me like you used to do?
Asking for a revival of past affectionate gestures.
'Cause I'm still here, like I've always been
Asserting persistent presence and commitment in the relationship.
Was it too much to give?
Pondering whether excessive giving caused the relationship strain.
Or did we need a little time?
Raising the possibility of needing time for personal growth.
Was it something I did, yeah
Questioning personal responsibility for relationship challenges.
Or was it all just a lie?
Doubting the authenticity of past expressions of love.
Don’t you love me like you used to?
Reiterating the plea for a return to previous expressions of love.
Don’t you love me like you did back then?
Yearning for the return of past love and emotional connection.
Won't you love me like you used to do?
Continuing to request a revival of past affectionate gestures.
'Cause I'm still here, like I've always been
Asserting continued presence and commitment despite challenges.
'Cause I'm still here, like I've always been
Repeating the affirmation of persistent presence and commitment.
'Cause I'm still here
Emphasizing enduring commitment and presence in the relationship.
