NF - I Miss The Days

Mm, mm
Mm, mm

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 listen 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
Now I always stress about money
Losin' my job, or scared I ain't makin' a flight
Not always goin' to bed every night with this knot in my stomach
It never unwinds
What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it?
Didn't question my purpose to breathe
Wonderin' who I should be
Happiness out of my reach
Sacred 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 in?
Gave away all of my faith in matter of placement
I miss the days when, I miss the days when—

I miss the smiles we used to have when we were young (Oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (Oh)
I miss just 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 (Oh)
Yeah, I feel like life was so much simpler then (Oh)
Yeah, 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 indicatin' 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 used to have when we were young (Oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (Oh)
I miss just 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 (Oh)
Yeah, I feel like life was so much simpler then (Oh)
Yeah, 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
Yeah
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
When we were kids
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
Simpler then
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
And we were innocent
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
Yeah

I miss the smiles we used to have when we were young (Oh)
I miss the memories of feeling love (Oh)
I miss just 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 (Oh)
Yeah, I feel like life was so much simpler then (Oh)
Yeah, 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
