"Used To Do" is a heartfelt song that delves into the pain and confusion of a love that has lost its former warmth and intimacy. The lyrics capture the sense of longing for a relationship that once thrived on care, affection, and deep connection, but now feels distant and cold. Each verse reflects on different aspects of the relationship that have changed over time - the lack of care, communication, laughter, and physical intimacy. This change is encapsulated in the chorus's simple, repetitive phrase "Like we used to do," which underscores the yearning for the return of what once was. The song reflects the universal experience of looking back on a relationship's better days and wishing to recapture that lost magic.
The inclusion of a phone call in the song adds a layer of realism and desperation, as the speaker seeks answers for the change in their partner's behavior. This moment of vulnerability and direct questioning - wondering if there's someone else, if they've done something wrong - highlights the deep insecurity and uncertainty that can accompany fading love. The final verse, however, takes a turn, reaffirming the speaker's enduring feelings despite the changes. It speaks to the complexity of still loving and needing someone even when the relationship doesn't feel the same as it used to. "Used To Do" encapsulates the struggle of holding onto love that feels like it's slipping away, and the hope that perhaps that love can still be rekindled.
