[Verse 1]
We used to be like the lovers, the ones that you'd see in a movie
I felt like I was your Noah, and I thought that you were my Allie
But we weren't out of a book
And I never wanted to hide it
But I had my heart set on you
When I guess you still hadn't decided
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was so fucked up, when I saw the way you looked at him
Did you fall out of love? Did he give you something I couldn't give?
[Chorus]
No, I'm not usually like this
And I don't think I'm ready for change
You know I could usually fight this
And sometimes I'm fine with the pain
And I know it's hard sometimes
But I wish you could stay for a moment
And you know I could usually fight this
No, I'm not usually like this
[Verse 2]
I thought I got over this feeling
'Cause it's been six years now
But I saw you last week on the street and
I caught myself turning around
Then I hoped that by now I'd forget
After parties when we'd stumble home
We'd text while we sneak past your parents
Drunk from bottles we don't even own
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was so fucked up, when I saw the way you looked at him
Did you fall out of love? Did he give you something I couldn't give?
[Chorus]
And I'm not usually like this
And I don't think I'm ready for change
You know I could usually fight this
And sometimes I'm fine with the pain
And I know it's hard sometimes
But I wish you could stay for a moment
You know I could usually fight this
No, I'm not usually like this
[Bridge]
Why do I fall, when you're all out of love?
And how do I know, when you fell out of love?
No, why do I fall, when you're all out of love?
So when did you fall out of love?
When did you fall out of love?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I was so fucked up, when I saw the way you looked at him
Did you fall out of love? Did he give you something I couldn't give?
[Chorus]
No, I'm not usually like this
And I don't think I'm ready for change
You know I could usually fight this
And sometimes I'm fine with the pain
And I know it's hard sometimes
But I wish you could stay for a moment
You know I could usually fight this
No I'm not usually like this
[Outro]
And I'm not usually like this (I'm not usually like this)
And I don't think I'm ready for change (Oh-ah)
You know I could usually fight this (I'm not usually like this)
And sometimes I'm fine with the pain (No)
And I know it's hard sometimes (I'm not usually like this)
But I wish you could stay for a moment (Oh)
You know I could usually fight this (I'm not usually like this)
No, I'm not usually like this (Not usually like this)

“Not Usually Like This” was the first time that I really dug into my past and was able to go to a place and write a song about something that I previously wouldn’t have been able to put into words. It was both difficult and easy, but I learned a lot from writing this song.
