the years Lyrics

Everything I've known never stayed the same

And all this time I've been wishing for better days

Cause I took it out of context

And everyone could just care less

About me

We were so innocent

And we cherished every single minute we spent

Together

And now I feel all alone

Cause I was scared of growing up

And this whole time I feel like my life is stuck

Cause nothing's the same as it was

Before

But now that I'm older

I think I could see it all more clear

But you're not here to wipe my tears

Those were the years

I'd ride my bike in the summer

You tell the jokes like no other

But this year you won't be here

Those were the years

When I scraped my knee

You covered the cut so I didn't see it bleed

I wanna try but don't want to

Cause nobody likes me at school

And I remember when you lived close

The people who left are those I loved the most

Cause right now I just feel insane

And I'm in so much pain, oh

Cause I was scared of growing up

And this whole time I feel like my life is stuck

Cause nothing's the same as it was

Before

But now that I'm older

I think I could see it all more clear

But you're not here to wipe my tears

Those were the years

I'd ride my bike in the summer

You tell the jokes like no other

But this year you won't be here

Those were the years

Those were the years

And you're not here

Oh, to wipe my tears

Oh, those were the years

But now that I'm older

I think I could see it all more clear

But you're not here to wipe my tears

Those were the years

I'd ride my bike in the summer

You tell the jokes like no other

But this year you won't be here

Those were the years
