I miss the days when I had a smile on my face and Wasn't so caught up all of the small things Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone And wasn't so cautious, and always exhausted And actually listened to things that my heart said Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike Not overthinkin' my life Not always wonderin' if I'm a likeable person Or someone that nobody likes Not always stressin' 'bout money Or losin' my job or scared I ain't makin' the flight Not always going to bed every night With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds
What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me? When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it And question my purpose to breath? Wonderin' who I should be, happiness outta my reach Scared to get back on my feet Need to get rid of what's detrimental But it's hard to let go When the thing that hurt you helped you get to your dream See, I miss the days when I wasn't so faded Love wasn't always invasive, I could embrace it Just innocent, waitin', not always living in anguish When did I break and become over taken? What was the moment I caved and gave away all of my faith And made a replacement? I miss the days when, I miss the days when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Gimme my mind back, yeah, gimme me mind back The one that told me I was worth something when I fall flat The one that told me I was worth something when I'm off track Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage And it was free to run fast Yeah, gimme my mind back, gimme my-gimme my mind back Before it was hi-jacked and wasn't described as A place of limitation always indicating I can't Handle everything from my past Handed ended anything it dissects Till I'm depressed, I know I'm blessed But I'm cursed too
Take me back when, I was happy but I wasn't acting Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kinda weakness Or a thing that's unattractive Had emotion but I learned to mask it Didn't know what I was running after Didn't know the older I would grow the more I lose control And takin' all the baggage, it's really sad when Everything you thought was stable crashes Everything you thought would take the sadness Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin' Will we ever feel like we imagine? Will we ever feel like we adapted? Will we ever feel like we did back then? Just take me back when, just take me back when
I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
Yeah
Yeah I miss the smiles we had when we were young I miss the memories of feeling love I miss us runnin' underneath the sun Staring out the window when the rain would come I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah When we had joy and we were innocent I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again
