The Way It Used to Be

We were young

We were never growin' old

And the glitter was still gold

The way it used to be

It was love

It was easy just to smile

It was easy for awhile

The way it used to be

But even stars, they fade

And colors turn to grey

I miss yesterday

And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time

Even if I tried

I miss you tonight

And, girl, I miss the way it used to be

Look at you

You got the life, the pretty house

But you must still think about

The way it used to be

Is it real?

He don't love you like I do (No)

Can we just go back to (Can we please?)

The way it used to be?

'Cause even stars, they fade

And colors turn to grey

I miss yesterday

And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time

Even if I tried

I miss you tonight

And, girl, I miss the way it used to be

(Oh, oh, oh)

Girl, I miss the way

Look at us

Just look what we've become

Just a shell of what once was

The way it used to be

Even stars, they fade

And colors turn to grey

I miss yesterday

And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time

Even if I tried

I miss you tonight

And, girl, I miss the way it used to be

(Oh, oh, oh)

Girl, I miss the way it used to be

(Oh, oh, oh)

And, girl, I miss the way it used to be
