Used to Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking through the door of this old and lonely
Place that used to feel like us
Remembering the only thing that made me
Feel like I was worth the love

[Pre-Chorus]
We used to hold hands, now I dance alone
We had Springsteen playing so loud
We danced in the dark till it felt like home

With you, home was anywhere

[Chorus]
But you will never be left behind
Give me a moment, I need just a little more time
If I could, I would have made things right

We can't go back to the way that we used to love
Never apart you're still running through my blood
We can't go back to the way that we used to love
We can't go back to the way that we used to love
We can't go back to the way that we used to–

[Verse 2]
Be talking through the night, you laying by my side
You were always there to heal my scars
And into the dawn, I do my best to try and find some sleep
But you still keep me up
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to hold hands, now I dance alone
We had Springsteen playing so loud
We danced in the dark till it felt like home
With you, home was anywhere

[Chorus]
But you will never be left behind
Give me a moment, I need just a little more time
If I could, I would have made things right
We can't go back to the way that we used to love
Never apart you're still running through my blood
We can't go back to the way that we used to love
We can't go back to the way that we used to–

[Bridge]
But I can't escape, you're still in my head
I'm running from, I'm running from the emptiness
But I can't escape, you're still in my head
I'm running from, I'm running from the emptiness
But I can't escape, you're still in my head
I'm running from, I'm running from the emptiness
But I can't escape, you're still in my head
I'm running from, I'm running from the emptiness

[Outro]
We can't go back to the way that we used to love

Genius Annotation

“Used To Love” is an EDM song by Dutch DJ & producer Martin Garrix and Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis. While the lyrics themselves are quite nostalgic and sad, “Used To Love” retains an optimistic vibe with a future-bass inspired sound similar to that of “Scared to Be Lonely” and “There For You”.

Martin commented on his collaboration stating, “It was amazing to make this song together, Dean is such a good friend and an exciting talent. He writes deeply personal lyrics and his style of music is timeless.”

The song was released worldwide on October 31, 2019. Martin would later reveal in his YouTube series working on the song with Lewis and Kristoffer Fogelmark via phone, and with Albin Nedler with some of the initial lyrics in the chorus as well as guitar chords. This occurred while Garrix in the hospital the day after he received surgery on his right ankle.
