Used to Love You
Yuna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder if you think about me
Now that you're out there on your own
You made it seem so easy
I wanna be just like you
I wonder if your heart is healing
You're going out so often now
I see the boys are helping you out
Are they just like you?

No regrets, no looking back now
Never left, you let me back down, no, no, no

Used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care
But no more
I'm better than before

I can never understand why
I'm depending on a guy
To make me feel like I was special
I am special when I'm mine
Keep running on in circles
I was such a slave for love
Now that I know better, I know better of my worth
I was young and I was foolish
Giving up my heart so easy to someone who didn't love me like I do
I was young and I was foolish
All I needed was my spirit and someone will come and love me like I do

No regrets, no looking back now
Never left, you let me back down, no, no, no

Used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care
But no more
I'm better than before

Used to love you
I used to love you
Used to love you
Used to love you

Used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care
But no more
I used to love you, used to care




But no more
I'm better than before

I wonder if you think about me
I question if you ever reflect on me


Now that you're out there on your own
Since you have abandoned me and are living an independent life


You made it seem so easy
You portrayed the act of leaving easy


I wanna be just like you
I aspire to have the same strength to leave and be independent


I wonder if your heart is healing
I wonder if you have mended your broken heart


You're going out so often now
You are attending public social events frequently


I see the boys are helping you out
It appears that the males are assisting you in a task


Are they just like you?
Do they resemble you in character?


No regrets, no looking back now
I have no sorrow or remorse, and refuse to reminisce


Never left, you let me back down, no, no, no
Although you never left, you still disappointed me

Keep running on in circles
Persistently repeating the same futile cycle


I was such a slave for love
I was once bound by the love I had

Now that I have knowledge, I am familiar with my own value


I was young and I was foolish
In the past, I was naive and rash


Giving up my heart so easy to someone who didn't love me like I do
Easily surrendering my heart to someone who did not love me as much as I did


All I needed was my spirit and someone will come and love me like I do
The only thing I need is my soul, and someone will love me with the same intensity


Used to love you
I once had sentiments for you


I used to love you
In the past, I cherished you


But no more
That time has passed


I'm better than before
I have grown and improved since then
