Aya- Used to ~ Ft. Jalen Rhodes

Like you used to ~ [Intro] [soulful female lead, layered choir responses, synth bass and soulful keys] You don't love me like you used to~ (love don't feel the way it did) Been so long~ (I can feel the distance) we went our separate ways~ (You feel far away) away-e-ayyy, mmm~ [Aya Verse] Strollin' through where we was, (Late nights I've been up alone) trynna find where we went wrong but it don't show up~ You said you needed space, But you still at my place, I don't even recognize what we became~ [Aya’s Bridge] [strings swell, lead and choir call-and-response] Like you used, like you used to~ (You don't love me like you used to) I been trynna hold it down~ (Hold it down, but you never hold me down) Never hold me down~ (Don't say you need me if you don'tttt~) If you donnn't~ don't tell me stayyy, don't go~ (Don't say you need me if you don'tttt~) ooou, Heyyy if you don't~ [Chorus: Aya] I don't even cry no mo (It just sit in my chest) Baby I got too much to lose (But you can't say that) You don't try no more (you just let it drift) You don't even call me by name But it's stuck in my head~ You don't love me like you used to~ (Love don't feel the same) Even when you next to me~ (feel so far away) I been trynna keep it cool~ (But it's breaking me) But it's breaking me... Guess I knew right all alonnnggg~ I just stayed...~ [Jalen Verse] I can't even ignore the signs no more~ I done hurt you time and time again... baby, I know I been distant~ Guess I never really knew how to love, cause' I'm used to toxic love... it's just the way I function... (I've been feeling like you could do better~) Feel like I'm only holding you down~ keeping you too close to the ground, I be wanting you around~ I know my ways been weighing on your heart~ But I feel as though you may wanna depart~ and I hate that I made you doubt us now~ I never meant to turn your sun to rain~ never meant to put you through this pain~ [Jalen Bridge] 'cause loving me ain't been easy, I know~ and I can see it in the way you let go~ even when you're standing next to me~ I feel you drifting outta reach... [Post chorus outro harmony] Like you used, like you used to~ (You don't love me like you used to) I been trynna hold it down~ (Hold it down, but you never hold me down) Never hold me down~ (Don't say you need me if you don'tttt~) If you donnn't~ don't tell me stayyy, don't go~ (Don't say you need me if you don'tttt~) ooou, Heyyy if you don't~ I don't even cry no mo (It just sit in my chest) Baby I got too much to lose (But you can't say that) You don't try no more (you just let it drift) You don't even call me by name But it's stuck in my head~ [Outro harmony] You don't love me like you used to~ (Love don't feel the same) Even when you next to me~ (feel so far away) I been trynna keep it cool~ (But it's breaking me) But it's breaking me... Guess I knew right all alonnnggg~ I just stayed...~
