[Hook]
[Chorus]
Lee Carr's song The Way We Used To Be is about a man who has lost his good girl and is regretting his mistakes. He is tired of people asking him how he's doing every day and feels like people are laughing at him wherever he goes. He knows he hurt his girl and doesn't deserve her, but he wants one more chance. The song talks about how he is willing to do whatever she needs and be whoever she wants him to be because he knows that he made a mistake by letting her go.
In the chorus, the song talks about how the man won't make it if she tells him that she doesn't want to be his baby anymore. He wants to go back to the way they used to be together. The song talks about how he is confused and doesn't understand why they can't be like they used to be. He wants someone to help him understand why they can't be together.

2 years and 10 months going down the drain ..
I gave my all from day one never cheated or slacked off in the relationship and still somehow im losing her .
When our two years came by she proposed to me ,unexpectedly.
I said yes with no hesitation. She made me feel like i was the luckiest man in the world .
Today were still together but communicating under her shedule which is all over the road and unknown on my end .
There are times where id have to endure days without talking to her . Not because i dont want to ,but cause she ignores me .
I have no reason why . I swear to you im not smothering her or not trying hard enough cause i do try hard to talk to her .
I really just dont know what i did wrong or whatsup , we never used to be like this .. we used to talk all the time let each other know everything ,
Now i can barely even get a simple answer of she ate for lunch .. i just wish for us to be the way we used to be before ..
To spice it up more we recently found out shes pregnant(12-13w) with my child of course , to think that would bring us closer but no..
I love and miss you baby with all of me ...♡

The saddest thing of a relationship that has ended, you don’t feel their presence anymore.
You don’t see that person anymore, u don’t look at him/ her anymore
You don’t smile at this person anymore
That special person is gone
