Used to Be
Nostalgic Reflections: Jack Harlow's 'Used to Be' Unraveled
Lyrics
Every time I'm in your neck of the woods, I'm thinkin' 'bout how it used to be
Reflecting on past experiences in a familiar place, nostalgic about how things were.
And I've been wondering if you left me for good, 'cause shit just ain't how it used to be
Questioning if the relationship has permanently ended, acknowledging the current dissatisfaction.
I sent a text around like midnight or so, you hit me back around two or three
Attempting communication late at night, receiving a delayed response.
And told me that you feel the same and you get me, but shit just ain't how it used to be
Confirmation of mutual feelings, but recognizing the relationship has changed.
I know that things change, I ain't stupid, no
Acknowledging awareness of natural changes in life.
But maybe if you felt the same, nah it's stupid, nah
Contemplating the possibility that the other person may share similar feelings.
I guess I don't know what to say or what I'm doing lately, I've been on a wave
Expressing confusion about current actions and being in a particular mindset recently.
Maybe you were just the one that got away
Considering the idea that the person was a significant missed opportunity or love lost.
Either way, oh no
Expressing uncertainty about the situation.
Every time I'm in your neck of the woods, I'm thinkin' 'bout how it used to be
Reiteration of thoughts about the past when in a familiar location.
Thinkin' back how it used to be
Reflecting further on how things used to be.
And I've been wondering if you left me for good, 'cause shit just ain't how it used to be
Questioning if the other person has permanently left, emphasizing the dissatisfaction.
Shit just ain't how it used to be
Emphasizing the contrast between the past and present state of the relationship.
I sent a text around like midnight or so, you hit me back around two or three
Repeating the late-night communication, indicating a recurring pattern.
And told me that you feel the same and you get me, but shit just ain't how it used to be
Reaffirming mutual feelings but acknowledging the ongoing change.
It just ain't how it used to be
Underlining the persistent alteration in the relationship.
I know that things change, I ain't stupid, no
Reiterating the understanding that change is inevitable.
But maybe if you felt the same, nah it's stupid, nah
Exploring the possibility that the other person shares similar sentiments.
I guess I don't know what to say or what I'm doing lately, I've been on a wave
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about recent actions and mindset.
Maybe you were just the one that got away
Reconsidering if the person was a significant missed opportunity or a lost love.
Either way, oh no
Reiterating uncertainty about the situation.
Every time I'm in your neck of the woods, I'm thinkin' 'bout how it used to be
Continuing reflection on past experiences in a familiar place.
And I've been wondering if you left me for good, 'cause shit just ain't how it used to be
Questioning the permanence of the other person's departure, emphasizing dissatisfaction.
I sent a text around like midnight or so, you hit me back around two or three
Repeating the late-night communication pattern, indicating persistence.
And told me that you feel the same and you get me, but shit just ain't how it used to be
Confirming mutual feelings while recognizing the ongoing change in the relationship.
I know that things change, I ain't stupid, no
Reiterating awareness that things change over time.
But maybe if you felt the same, nah it's stupid, nah
Exploring the possibility that the other person feels the same way.
I guess I don't know what to say or what I'm doing lately, I've been on a wave
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about recent actions and mindset.
Maybe you were just the one that got away
Reiterating the consideration of the person as a significant missed opportunity or love lost.
Either way, oh no
Reaffirming uncertainty about the situation.
Every time I'm in your neck of the woods, I'm thinkin' 'bout how it used to be
Continuing reflection on past experiences in a familiar place.
Thinkin' back how it used to be

Either way, oh no
Reiterating uncertainty about the situation.
It just ain't how it used to be
Final emphasis on the persistent change in the relationship, concluding the reflection.
