Used To Be Us

[Verse 1]
Left my phone face down on the dresser
You still laughed in the kitchen, hair in a sweater
I was typing out lies with my back to the light
Heart in my pocket, you gave me your life
Screenshots, late nights, someone in my DM
Told myself, "it's nothing," but I knew I'd sink in
You were folding my shirts while I folded the truth
We were planning our fall, I was stealing your youth
[Chorus]
I broke us
Now I miss what we were
But you ain't that person I hurt
You cold now
Eyes like I’m just a blur
Guess I turned your smile into dirt
I broke us
And I hate what it did
To the way that you talk, how you live
I miss us
But I can't get you back
'Cause I’m layin' in the bed that I wrecked
[Verse 2]
You don't joke like you did, you just shrug now
Used to dance in the car, you just stare out
You said, "I'm not the same," I know that's on me
I put a lock on your heart, threw away the old key
You used to call me "baby," now it's just my name
You used to cry in my hoodie, now you numb to the pain
Every tear that you dried that was mine on your face
Built a wall 'round your chest, now I die at the gate (yeah)
[Chorus]
I broke us
Now I miss what we were
But you ain't that person I hurt
You cold now
Eyes like I’m just a blur
Guess I turned your smile into dirt
I broke us
And I hate what it did
To the way that you talk, how you live
I miss us
But I can't get you back
'Cause I’m layin' in the bed that I wrecked
[Bridge]
If I could meet the old you
I'd tell her, "run, don't stay" (run, don't stay)
If I could meet the new you
I'd say, "I changed too late" (too late)
[Chorus]
I broke us
Now I miss what we were
But you ain't that person I hurt
You cold now
Eyes like I’m just a blur
Guess I turned your smile into dirt
I broke us
And I hate what it did
To the way that you talk, how you live
I miss us
But I can't get you back
'Cause I'm layin' in the bed that I wrecked (yeah)

rap, Moody trap-soul rap; minor-key keys over spaced 808s and crisp hats. First verse almost whispered, tight flows with confessional detail; hook melodic and aching with stacked male vocals; second verse more rhythmic and urgent, ad-libs tucked behind key lines. Beat strips back on last hook for a vulnerable, half-sung outro.
