Back in the day
|
When I was younger
|
I wasn't afraid
|
Of giving my heart to you
|
Now and again
|
I get sentimental
|
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
|
And every time I start to slip
|
I just remind myself
|
I need only think of it
|
I went through so much hell
|
You say you wanna get things back
|
The way they used to be
|
Can you give me one good reason
|
Why should I darlin'
|
|
Why should I care
|
Why should I care for you
|
Why should I care
|
Why should I care for you
|
Why should I care
|
Why should I care for you
|
Why should I care
|
Why should I care
|
|
Back in the day
|
I should have been wiser
|
But what can I say
|
I should have been onto you
|
But I was afaid
|
That you'd break my heart in two
|
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway baby
|
And every time I close my eyes
|
I just remind myself
|
You told about a million lies
|
You put my heart through hell
|
And now you wanna get with me
|
Just for old times sake
|
Well I am not about to make that same mistake
|
|
HOOK
|
|
You see a girl that you gave all your love
|
I see a girl you took advantage of
|
You see a girl that you cannot forget
|
I see a man that I cannot forgive
|
Tell me why
|
|
HOOK
|
|
Back in the day when I was young
|
I wasn't afraid to love
|
Back in the day
|
You were the one what was I thinking of
|
Back in the day
|
Should have been wiser
|
Should have been onto you
|
But I was afraid I make a mistake
|
No one knows
|
