It's not like it used to be

[Verse 1] Midnight always feels so strange Streetlamps glow but never rearrange The quiet hum of memories past Reminding me how time moves fast [Pre-Chorus] I still recall the laughter in your stare But things got hazy, we drifted somewhere [Chorus] It’s not like it used to be I’m chasing fragments of possibility I glance behind, hoping somehow To find the warmth we lost by now But it’s not like it used to be [Verse 2] Empty glasses lined up in a row Silence lingers where the words should flow I feel a tug from days gone by Yet forward’s the only way to try [Pre-Chorus] I sense that longing hidden in the air But a brand-new dawn awaits me there [Chorus] It’s not like it used to be I’m chasing fragments of possibility I glance behind, hoping somehow To find the warmth we lost by now But it’s not like it used to be [Bridge] I’ll let those memories fade to make some space Stepping boldly into a brighter place Though a part of me still clings to the past I’m learning to let go, at last [Chorus - Variatie] It’s not like it used to be But I’m embracing who I’m meant to be No more circling the same old track I’m moving on and not looking back ‘Cause it’s not like it used to be [Outro] We’re changing, and that’s okay I’ll keep dancing through every new day No, it’s not like it used to be But maybe that’s exactly what sets me free
