We Used To, like many songs on Vera Blue’s 2017 studio album, Perennial, is about getting over an ex. In We Used To, Vera Blue sings and reminisces about the way things were and having to become accustomed to her new life.
[Verse 1]
We used to live a lie through a filtered lens
There we'd close our eyes and play pretend
We used to never sleep, we'd just fool around
Lost in our own time, that's how fools are found
That's how we were found
[Chorus]
Now I have to get used to not doing the things that I used to
You have to get used to all the shit that you've done
Now I have to get used to not doing the things that I used to
You have to get used to all the shit that you've done
[Verse 2]
Remember when we'd laugh at our worried friends
We would roll our eyes, they don't understand
Ironic how the ones that you treat so poor
Have the shoulder and the open door, and the open door
Please don't close the door
[Chorus]
Now I have to get used to not doing the things that I used to
You have to get used to all the shit that you've done
Now I have to get used to not doing the things that I used to
You have to get used to all the shit that you've done
[Post-Chorus]
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done?
[Outro]
Now you have to get used to not doing the things that you used to
I have to get used to all the shit I've done
