# I MISS WHO I WAS **Verse 1** Found a picture from five years ago Same damn eyes, but I don’t know him Cheap apartment, beat-up clothes Nothing figured out, but something open I had less money, more time Less armor underneath my skin I thought the world was hard back then God, I didn’t know where hard begins **Pre-Chorus** I got everything I said I wanted Somewhere on the way, I lost something **Chorus** I don’t miss you I miss who I was with you Before the walls went up Before I learned what people do I don’t want us back I just want that version of me The one who still believed Love didn’t always leave I don’t miss you I miss who I was Before I learned How much surviving costs **Post-Chorus** How much surviving costs How much surviving costs I got everything And somehow still got lost **Verse 2** Now the house is bigger, nights are colder Got more numbers in my phone Everybody says I made it Funny how success can feel alone I know when to smile, when to leave How to read a room and hide a bruise I got good at not needing anybody That’s a hell of a thing to learn to do **Pre-Chorus** I became the man I thought would save me Now I’m trying to remember what he saved me from **Chorus** I don’t miss you I miss who I was with you Before the walls went up Before I learned what people do I don’t want us back I just want that version of me The one who still believed Love didn’t always leave I don’t miss you I miss who I was Before I learned How much surviving costs **Post-Chorus / Drop** Oh-oh I miss who I was Oh-oh Before it got this hard Oh-oh I miss who I was Before I learned How much surviving costs **Bridge** Maybe growing up is losing Pieces you can’t replace Maybe every scar is proof You made it through another day But if surviving means becoming Someone I don’t recognize Then tell that kid inside the picture I’m still trying to get back to his eyes **Breakdown** I don’t miss the fights I don’t miss the lies I don’t miss goodbye I miss the guy Who thought forever Was something people meant **Final Chorus** I don’t miss you I miss who I was with you Before my heart got smart Before my faith got hard to use I don’t want us back I just want that part of me That loved without a reason And slept without a screen I don’t miss you I miss who I was Before I learned How much surviving costs **Final Lift** I got the scars I got the proof I got the life I fought to choose But somewhere between Making it through And making it out I lost me too **Outro** I don’t miss you I miss who I was.
