Used To Be Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The truth is bulletproof
There’s no foolin’ you
I don’t dress the same
Me and who you say
I was yesterday
Have gone our separate ways
[Refrain]
Left my livin’ fast
Somewhere in the past
‘Cause that’s for chasin’ cars
Turns out open bars
Lead to broken hearts
And going way too far
[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ‘causе I used to be young
[Verse 2]
Take onе, pour it out
It’s not worth cryin’ about
The things you can’t erase
Like tattoos and regrets
Words I never meant
And ones that got away
[Refrain]
Left my livin’ fast
Somewhere in the past
And took another road
Turns out crowded rooms
Empty out as soon
There’s somewhere else to go, ooh
[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah
Woah
Woah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
I know I used to be crazy
Messed up but, God, was it fun
I know I used to be wild
That’s ’cause I used to be young
Those wasted nights are not wasted
I remember every one
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s ’cause I used to be young
