Like You Used To
Fading Echoes: Unraveling Love's Melody in Gold Child's 'Like You Used To'
Lyrics
I used to think that you were paradise
I used to believe that you were a perfect and idyllic person
Like an august peach just turned ripe
Similar to a ripe peach in August, symbolizing a peak state of goodness
But I couldn't cut the perfect slice
However, I couldn't experience the perfection I anticipated
Now our paradise has run dry
Now our ideal situation has come to an end
Cause you don't touch me like you used to
Your physical connection with me has changed from what it used to be
And you don't look into my eyes like they are calling to you
You no longer gaze into my eyes as if they hold a special connection for you
You don't tell me your secrets
You withhold your personal secrets and deep truths from me
Your deep dark truths
Your most profound and concealed realities
Cause you don't love me like you used to do you?
Your love for me has diminished from what it used to be
It's not like it happened over night
This change in our relationship didn't occur suddenly
There were glitches and warning signs
There were indications and warning signs along the way
And some issues that I let slide
I ignored some problems and let them pass without addressing them
I think we're nearing the end of our ride
It seems we are approaching the end of our journey together
Cause you don't touch me like you used to
Your physical touch lacks the intimacy it once had
And you don't look into my eyes like they are calling to you
Your eye contact doesn't convey the same connection as before
You don't tell me your secrets
You are not sharing your personal secrets anymore
Your deep dark truths
Your most profound and concealed realities
Cause you don't love me like you used to do you?
Your love for me has diminished from what it used to be
Why, oh, why
A lamentation expressing a desire to go back in time
Can't we rewind the tape back to the place
A metaphorical request to return to a better place in the past
When you were mine all mine?
Recalling a time when you were exclusively mine
Now the stories told
The narrative has unfolded, and the end is approaching
The credits roll
The conclusion or climax of our story
They hit the lights
The end is signaled, the lights are turned off
Baby, we're out of time
We've run out of time
Cause you don't touch me like you used to
Your physical connection with me has changed from what it used to be
Yeah you don't touch me like you used to
Reiteration that your touch is no longer the same as before
And you don't look into my eyes like they are calling to you
Your eye contact doesn't convey the same connection as before
You don't tell me your secrets
You are not sharing your personal secrets anymore
Your deep dark truths
Your most profound and concealed realities
Cause you don't love me like you used to do you?
Your love for me has diminished from what it used to be
