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
