[Verse 1]
Uh, it feels like every night I'm reminiscing
Wanting to go back to a place that I'm really missin'
Wanting to see friends, that I haven't seen in forever
But I can't, it's gonna be like that for worse or better
Some people use their past, as an excuse for how they are
Which explains why they haven't gotten very far
I use my past as a reminder to create memories
With the people I care for, a.k.a my family
Back in elementary, I didn't really care
I always had attention from a parent that was always there
Not everyone has that so I gotta be thankful
Cause the day I lose them, will make the day that's most painful
I got lots of friends, we ride 'till we die
If I lost one of them, I'd obviously cry
But I'd say to myself, "I gotta get through this, "
And I'll do what I do every night, reminisce
[Chorus]
Sometime ago, I used to live a better life, woah
These days now you better wear a smile, it's not hard to try
Sometime ago I used to live a better life, woah
These days now, you better wear a smile, in order to survive
