“Used To Be” by Jonas Brothers
“Used To Be” finds the Jonas brothers telling the story of a broken-hearted person who has to deal with watching the woman he once loved move on with her life. The song expresses several feelings including a subtle jealousy, disappointment, selflessness and neediness.
The narrator is somewhat jealous because unlike his ex-lover, he is yet to move on. And as if that isn’t enough, he finds her having fun with her friends in all the places they used to hang out. He also expresses disappointment as he thinks she has changed from the person he used to know. At the same time, he mentions that he just wants her to be happy and she is free to decide what she wants even if it means ditching him totally. Finally, the narrator appears needy as he repeatedly wishes that she calls him to talk and possibly get back together.
Conclusion
“Used to be” by the Jonas brothers demonstrates the pain of losing a person you once loved, and having to watch them move on happily with their lives while you continually desire to be with them.
