In the old days
In the old days
In the old days things were better x2

In the old days things were better
We had our whole lives ahead of us
With nothing to lose
Yeah, we did alright

But if we always tell ourselves those were the best days
Then there’s really nothing ahead of us
We’ve already lost
Given up the fight

You’re kidding yourself if you think things were better then
You drank too much and I treated you like shit
If we’re always looking backward
We’re never moving forward
And living’s a one way street

Why don’t you get over yourself,
Pack it in and walk away?
Been dragging us down for far too long
I’m not listening to a word you say
There’s nothing in the past that’s better than our future
I believe that with all my heart
So it’s now or never, time to cut the cord,
And make a brand new start

In the old days
In the old days
In the old days things were better x2

By now you have to see nostalgia’s a luxury
It’s something that I can’t afford
I’ve got my own life
I’m moving on

And if those days were so great
That’s not the way it seemed to me
Because back then
We couldn’t wait to grow up


And to tell you the truth, I wasn’t really happy then
I always wanted more and you would never give
I’d never take it back
But I’d never go back either
And that’s just the way life is

Why don’t you get over yourself,
Pack it in and walk away?
Been dragging us down for far too long
I’m not listening to a word you say
There’s nothing in the past that’s better than our future
I believe that with all my heart
So it’s now or never, time to cut the cord,
And make a brand new start
