Used To
Sabrina Claudio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I was thinking
About the time when I was weakened
When I let you take advantage
Those were the times
Those were the times

Ah, ah
Ah
Ah
Ah, ah
Ah

This morning I was remembering
About the times when I became more stubborn
And when I decided that I was stronger
Than how you made me feel
Those times are real

I used to lose myself so I could find you quicker
I used to lose myself so I could love you better

Ah, ah
Ah
Ah, ah

I used to lose myself so I could find you quicker
I used to lose myself so I could love you better




I used to lose myself so I could find you quicker
I used to lose myself so I could love you better

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Sabrina Claudio reflects on a past relationship where she allowed herself to be weakened and taken advantage of. The phrase "Last night I was thinking" suggests that she is reminiscing about these moments. The lyrics illustrate a sense of vulnerability and submission, highlighting a time when she prioritized the needs and desires of her partner over her own.


The repetition of "Those were the times" reinforces the realization that these were experiences that characterized a significant period for her. The repetition also serves to emphasize the significance of these moments in her mind. It may suggest a sense of nostalgia or even regret for allowing herself to be treated this way.


The next stanza shifts to the morning after, where she reminisces about a different phase in the relationship. Here, she becomes more stubborn and decides to assert her own strength and worth. The lyrics imply a newfound realization that she deserves better than how her partner made her feel. These moments of empowerment are described as being "real," indicating the authenticity and importance of these self-discovering experiences for her.


The following four lines express her former habit of losing herself to find and love her partner better. This implies that she would sacrifice her own identity and lose sight of her own needs in order to prioritize her partner's happiness. This can be interpreted as a form of self-neglect, where she placed her own well-being at a lower priority in the relationship.


The repeated lines "I used to lose myself so I could find you quicker, I used to lose myself so I could love you better" further emphasize this sacrifice. They suggest that she believed losing herself would ultimately lead to a stronger connection with her partner. However, with hindsight, she now recognizes the negative impact this had on her own self-worth and happiness.


Overall, these lyrics explore themes of vulnerability, self-discovery, and the consequences of sacrificing one's own identity and happiness for a relationship. It showcases Sabrina Claudio's growth and reflection on past experiences, revealing a shift in mindset and a newfound realization of her worth.
