[VERSE 1] We say we miss the old days Like they were made of gold Like every Friday night was magic And every story worth being told But I don't miss the places And I don't miss every face I think I miss the girl I was Before I learned to brace [PRE CHORUS] Before the walls went up Before I watched my back Before I knew that some things You don't ever get back [CHORUS] Maybe we don't miss the old days Maybe we miss who we were Before life taught us to be careful Before we knew what could hurt Maybe nothing was better Maybe we just felt more free Maybe we call it the good old days 'Cause we miss who we used to be [VERSE 2] We laugh about the stupid things The nights we can't remember The songs we played a hundred times The heat of late December We swear that life was simpler But maybe that's not true Maybe there were just fewer things We had to carry through [PRE CHORUS] Before the losses came Before the fear took hold Before a little innocence Started feeling old [CHORUS] Maybe we don't miss the old days Maybe we miss who we were Before life taught us to be careful Before we knew what could hurt Maybe nothing was better Maybe we just felt more free Maybe we call it the good old days 'Cause we miss who we used to be [BRIDGE] And I wonder if she's still there That version underneath The one who didn't question Every good thing she could keep Maybe nostalgia isn't longing For a life that's gone away Maybe it's our younger selves Still asking us to play [FINAL CHORUS] Maybe we don't miss the old days Maybe we miss who we were Before we learned that loving Could sometimes leave a scar Maybe nothing was better Maybe we just felt more free Maybe the good old days were never days Maybe they were just... me [OUTRO] Maybe they were just me Before I knew What life could take from me And what I'd have to learn to carry too
