“Used To”


“Used to”
You used to always surprise me 
By always coming through
Now you always shock me
With how mean you can be and how cruel


You used to be my safe space 
The one I could always run to
Now you only answer
To tell me how worthless I am


You used to be my man
The only one I was excited to see
Now you’re talking to other women
Wishing I’d set you free


You used to be my home
Every night we slept in your bed
Now you’re on the other side of the world
Inviting strangers in


You used to tell me I was beautiful
Take pictures of me in secret
Now you tell me I’m an old wench
Who brings nothing but unhappiness


How I hate going from 
Used to
To now
So quickly


I used to believe in you
Think you were the whole world
Now I wait for your next attack
To cover up your tracks


I never would have given up on you
But you can’t admit when you’re wrong
So you destroy the evidence
Instead of living in providence
