I Used To Think

Face to Face · Other Songs - Face to Face

I've tried to fake it

I've tried to lie about it

I've tried to take it

There's nothing new about it

I can't take a thing from you

Because I want what I want

And it wouldn't do, I've tried to make it

There's nothing you can say

I used to think

That things were going to be okay

I never wanted to think

There would be another way

Is there another way?

I've tried to fake it

I've tried to lie about it

I've tried to make it

I didn't realize it

I can't take a thing from you

Because I want what I want

And it wouldn't do, I've tried to make it

There's nothing you can say

I used to think

That things were going to be okay

I never wanted to think

There would be another way

Is there another way?

I Used To Think

Released by the British indie rock band Face to Face, "I Used To Think" stands as a defining track from their early discography. The song exemplifies the group's signature sound, blending melodic pop structures with the raw, emotive vocal delivery characteristic of their work in the mid-2000s. As a staple of their live performances and radio play, the recording captures the band's ability to craft anthems that resonate with themes of introspection and emotional vulnerability. It remains a key song in their catalog, often cited alongside other singles like "I Want You" and "Burden" as essential listening for fans of the genre's post-punk revival era.
