lyrics

I used to think that I passed my darkest years
I thought I'd paid the price
I fought my way through all the anger and tears
With hope that I would have a better life
Well, that’s a place I’ll never be
I could never bring you on board for this ride
Don’t sacrifice a thing for me
The last place you want to be is by my side

Take me back to the days when I
Used to go outside, we were side by side
Think of all the things that we used to do
All before I knew I lived in denial, too

In order to get past the errors that I made
I told myself a lie
Those days were long ago, now I’m a better man
I thought that I could put my past aside
I had never been so wrong
How could I predict the days that were to come
I can't even turn to song
Where’s this cautious optimism coming from?

Take me back to the days when I
Used to play dumb games, I’d feel no shame
Think of all the plans that we used to make
Till we took a break, now I hide from my mistakes

I’m a toxic man, so stay away from me, I should be alone
I've turned into the man that I used to be
I swear to you that guy is still inside, somewhere you cannot find
Oh, why did he go, I'll tell you why
When was the last time I felt alive

Take me back to the days when I
Simply wasted time, it was so sublime
Think of all the things that we used to say
Up until the day that you finally went away

Take me back to the days when I
Used to go outside, we were side by side
Think of all the things that we used to do
All before I knew I lived in denial, too
