Used To Be Lyrics

It used to be I was alone
It used to be I was in the mist of
It used to be all I did was worry
It used to be I would never rest

But now
All my dreams have me down
All my dreams have me down

It used to be I would never bother
It used to be I would never care
It used to be I hated my father
It used to be he was never there

But now
All my dreams have me down
All my dreams have me down

Oh now,
Oh my dreams have me down
Oh my dreams have me down
Oh my dreams have me down
Down, all my dreams have me down
All my dreams have me down

It used to be I would never marry
It used to be I would never love
It used to be my burden to carry
It used to be what I'm thinking of

But now
All my dreams have me down
All my dreams have me down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
