Intro Cold wind, your hand in mine… Back when forever still sounded right… We were just kids tryna outrun the dark… Now all that’s left are these holes in my heart… --- Hook We were young, we were wild, we were strong, we were kind Running straight into the night with no fear inside our minds We were fire, we were gold, we were light before the dark Leaving fingerprints forever on each other’s broken hearts You were mine through every scar, every sleepless lonely night Now the silence cuts so deep where you used to hold me tight And every memory still burns beneath my lungs… God, I miss Who we were when we were young… --- Verse 1 You had tears in your eyes underneath the porchlight glow Said the world feels cold as hell when you got nowhere left to go So I held you like a prayer that I never wanted lost Two broken souls tryna love without counting all the cost Stealing moments from the night like we’d never run from time Writing future plans in smoke while your fingers held on mine And I swear I hear your laugh every time the rain still falls Like your ghost still walks beside me through these empty halls --- Hook We were young, we were wild, we were strong, we were kind Running straight into the night with no fear inside our minds We were fire, we were gold, we were light before the dark Leaving fingerprints forever on each other’s broken hearts You were mine through every scar, every sleepless lonely night Now the silence cuts so deep where you used to hold me tight And every memory still burns beneath my lungs… God, I miss Who we were when we were young… --- Verse 2 I still stop when someone says your name out in the crowd Like some part of me still thinks you’ll turn around somehow Your old sweater smells like smoke and those late October drives Back when love was all we needed just to feel a little alive Now your side of every song still aches inside my chest And every “I’m okay” just means I’m trying not to break yet People say that time can heal, but they never loved like us Some hearts don’t really move on — they just slowly turn to dust --- Hook We were young, we were wild, we were strong, we were kind Running straight into the night with no fear inside our minds We were fire, we were gold, we were light before the dark Leaving fingerprints forever on each other’s broken hearts You were mine through every scar, every sleepless lonely night Now the silence cuts so deep where you used to hold me tight And every memory still burns beneath my lungs… God, I miss Who we were when we were young… --- Verse 3 Your little brother asked if I still write songs for you I just smiled and looked away like lonely people do Truth is every single line still begins and ends with us Every melody’s a wound that never really closed enough And if heaven lets you hear the things I never got to say I hope you know I carried you through every single day Even now I leave the porchlight shining in the dark Like some foolish part of me still waits there with your heart --- Hook We were young, we were wild, we were strong, we were kind Running straight into the night with no fear inside our minds We were fire, we were gold, we were light before the dark Leaving fingerprints forever on each other’s broken hearts You were mine through every scar, every sleepless lonely night Now the silence cuts so deep where you used to hold me tight And every memory still burns beneath my lungs… God, I miss Who we were when we were young… --- Verse 4 Maybe love like ours was never built to really last Maybe beautiful things burn too bright and fade too fast But I’d relive every second, every tear and every high Just to hold you one more time before we said goodbye ‘Cause you weren’t just somebody — you were home to all my pain The only soul that ever made this broken world feel safe Now I talk to you in silence every night the sky turns numb Still in love with who we were… Back when we were young… --- Final Hook We were young, we were wild, we were strong, we were kind Running straight into the night with no fear inside our minds We were fire, we were gold, we were light before the dark Leaving fingerprints forever on each other’s broken hearts You were mine through every scar, every sleepless lonely night Now the silence cuts so deep where you used to hold me tight And every memory still burns beneath my lungs… God, I miss Who we were when we were young…
