I Miss The Days

I miss the days when I had a smile on my face and

Wasn't so caught up in 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, heart said

Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike

Not overthinkin' my life

Not always wonderin' if I'm a likable person

Or someone that nobody likes

Not always stressed about money or losin' my job

Or scared I ain't makin' a flight

Not always goin' 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?

Then question my purpose to breathe

Wonderin' who I should be

Happiness out of 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 hurts you help you get to your dreams

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 livin' in anguish

When did I break and become overtaken?

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 (oh)

I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)

I miss us runnin' underneath the Sun (oh)

Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)

I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)

I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)

When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)

I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

Give me my mind back, yeah

Give me my mind back

The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I fall flat

Yeah, fall flat

The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I'm off track

Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage and it was free to run fast

Yeah, give me my mind back

Yeah, give me my, give me my mind back

Before it was hijacked and wasn't described as

A place of limitation, always indicating I can't

Handle everything from my past

Handed anything it dissects 'til I'm depressed

I know I'm blessed, but I'm cursed too

Take me back when I was happy, but I wasn't actin'

Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kind of weakness

Or a thing that's unattractive

Had emotion, but I learned to mask it

Didn't know what I was runnin' after

Didn't know the older I would grow

The more I'd lose control and take in 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, take me back when

I miss the smiles we had when we were young (oh)

I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)

I miss us runnin' underneath the Sun (oh)

Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)

I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)

I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)

When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)

I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

Oh-oh-oh (way again)

Oh-oh-oh (mm)

Oh-oh-oh (way again, way again)

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

(Had when we were kids)

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

(So much simpler then)

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

(And we were innocent)

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

Yeah

I miss the smiles we had when we were young (oh)

I miss the memories of feeling love (oh)

I miss us runnin' underneath the Sun (oh)

Staring out the window when the rain would come (oh)

I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (oh)

I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (oh)

When we had joy and we were innocent (oh)

I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again (oh)

Oh-oh-oh (oh)

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
