…say
When I tell her that I broke your heart?
It's just things aren't the way that they used to be
Oh no, now you're crying…
…mama gonna say
When I tell her that I broke your heart?
It's just things aren't the way that they used to be
Oh no, now you're…
By Flaws (2020)
On album maze (2020)

…at peace
More than you've ever been
But that you're happy to be back home
[Chorus 1]
Things are not the way that they used to be
Don't know…
…[Chorus 2]
Things are not the way that they used to be
Maybe I was too blind to see
I'm…

Ah, ah, ah
Things just ain't the way that they used to be
Back in the day when a man meant security
He'd be working hard all week…

…"(Things are so different for you and I)"
Damn
[Verse 3: Rose Gold]
Things can't be
The way that they used to be…

…[Hook]
Times are changin' it might sound strange and
Things ain't the way that they used to be…
By David Allan Coe (1982)
On album D.A.C. (1982)

…in the closet
Next to the bed beside me
I put your pictures up on the wall
Just the way that they used to be
I threw Mexican perfume all over…

…having a breakdown
I'm having a breakdown
I'm having a breakdown
I'm having a breakdown
[Verse 2]
I can't breathe, I can't see
The things the way that they used to be…

…the nighttime with me
I've got a little place just southwest of Fleet (???)
But my life isn't that secure, don't you see
'Cos things don't go the way that they used to be…

Rapp
Give you all my happiness, baby
Throw in my troubles for free
Things just ain't the same
That's the way that they used to be…

…[Chorus: Brittani Janae]
And I know, I know
Things ain't the way that they used to be
And I know, I know…

…don't treat me)
What did I do wrong
Hey, tell me
Why don't you tell me
So that I can try
To get things the way that they used to be…

…they just don't
But I'm still a father figure in this game I know and you know
[Chorus]
Things ain't the way that they used to be…

…to, say everything will be okay and we'll have our days
Back to the way, the way that they used to be
When I knew that you loved me…

…"(Things are so different for you and I)"
Damn
[Verse 3: Rose Gold]
Things can't be
The way that they used to be…

…[Verse 1]
Things just ain't the way that they used to be
Back in the day when a man meant security
After working hard all week…
