lyrics

I am now her used to be
A boy that she no longer sees
A limit reached a lesson learned
A love that’s lost to time
I call her up just to let her know
Why would I ever let this go
And hope to God she holds on tight
To the memories we made those nights

I know it’s complicated
And that’s just not our style
Anticipation made a fool of me
And I hope I didn’t make you jaded
Or become a memory
Cause I don’t want to be your used to be

Hold on hope all down your road
Of everything don’t let that go
You might lose love or curse the night
But really what’s the point
Of letting go what’s really real
A towel thrown before the fight
A heart that now is iron clad
Reflects memories of days we had

I know it’s complicated
And that’s just not our style
Anticipation made a fool of me
And I hope I didn’t make you jaded
Or become a memory
Cause I don’t want to be your used to be

I know it’s complicated
And that’s just not our style
Anticipation made a fool of me
And I hope I didn’t make you jaded
Or become a memory
Cause I don’t want to be your used to be

And I know it might be overstated
But you’re the one I need
And I don’t want to be your used to be
Yeah
I’m not going to be your used to be
