Yung Van wrote this song to vocalize and express his feelings of about falling out of love with somebody. Unfortunately, sometimes people change and you love who they were at the beginning of the relationship, but they’re not the same person when the relationship is over.
[Verse 1: Yung Van]
I'd be lying if I said you didn't cross my mind
I'd be lying if I said you didn't cross my mind
You pop up when I'm in class looking at the time
Tell me that I'm crazy reminiscing
I forgot everything we were missing
[Chorus: Yung Van]
You only love me because you used to
I'd tell you I love you but that is old news
When we split up, I thought I told you, yeah
I fell in love, but with the old you
You only love me because you used to, yeah
I'd tell you I love you but that is old news
When we split up, I thought I told you, yeah
I fell in love, but with the old you
[Verse 2: Sinxi]
And I fell in love but with the old you
Oh I'd catch your perfume as you'd pass-through
Oh I think of the times that'll pass soon
Oh I gave you my heart, didn't mean to
I've been playing it over a couple hundred times
Yeah, the things I could say, always to stay dry
Yeah, to get you to see I'm okay this time
But would it be a crime to try again one night?
[Chorus: Yung Van]
You only love me because you used to, yeah
I'd tell you I love you but that is old news
When we split up, I thought I told you, yeah
I fell in love, but with the old you
You only love me because you used to, yeah
I'd tell you I love you but that is old news
When we split up, I thought I told you, yeah
I fell in love, but with the old you
[Outro: Yung Van]
They call it falling in love 'cause you can't fucking stop it
They call it falling in love 'cause you can't fucking stop it
