Rain on the window.

Missing someone who used to be you.]

I miss who I was before I knew

How heavy the world could really be

Back when my heart was bulletproof

And dreams felt closer than reality

I miss the way I used to laugh

Without wondering what came next

Now every smile feels like a mask

And every joy comes with a test

I’m not broken, just tired inside

From carrying this grown-up life

I miss who I was

When I didn’t feel lost

When love was enough

And fear didn’t talk

I miss who I was

Before all the pain

Before every memory

Came with a stain

I don’t wanna rewind

I just wanna feel that again

I miss who I was

I miss who I was

I miss the kid who thought he’d win

Without having to bleed first

Now I’m learning what it costs

To build something that lasts

I miss the light in my own eyes

Before I learned how to hide

Before I traded hope for pride

Just to make it through the night

I’m not broken, just tired inside

From carrying this grown-up life

I miss who I was

When I didn’t feel lost

When love was enough

And fear didn’t talk

I miss who I was

Before all the pain

Before every memory

Came with a stain

I don’t wanna rewind

I just wanna feel that again

I miss who I was

I miss who I was

Maybe he’s still somewhere deep

Under all the things I’ve seen

Maybe I don’t need to go back

Just let myself be him again

I miss who I was

But I’m still right here

Trying to grow past

All of this fear

I don’t wanna rewind

I just wanna heal

I miss who I was

But I’m learning who I am
