Miss The Old
Hook (Melodic, Stunna Gambino style)
I miss the old days, when love didn’t feel fake
When you used to hold me, not look for an escape
We was broke but rich, we ain’t care ‘bout a thing
Now the money in my pocket, but it don’t feel the same
I miss the old days, ridin’ slow in the rain
You said you’d never change, but you ain’t stay the same
Now I’m alone with my thoughts, tryna numb all the pain
I got a million on my mind, but I still feel strange
⸻
Verse 1 (J.I melodic rap)
Late night texts, now it’s read, no reply
Used to tell me I was heaven, now you say I’m just a guy
We was kids in the city, tryna make it out alive
Now I’m grown with regrets and some scars I can’t hide
We was posted in the 401, dreamin’ ‘bout a way
Talkin’ ‘bout forever like that sh*t was here to stay
You was my safe place when the world felt cold
Now you just a memory that my heart won’t let go
I gave you my trust when I barely had faith
Now I’m talkin’ to God tryna heal what you break
You found someone else, started buildin’ your life
I’m still stuck in October, replayin’ them nights
⸻
Pre-Hook (sung, emotional)
I tried to move on, but it don’t feel right
Every road I take still lead to you inside
I smile in the daylight, cry in the dark
Still carry your name in the back of my heart
⸻
Hook (Full, layered)
I miss the old days, when love didn’t feel fake
When you used to hold me, not look for an escape
We was broke but rich, we ain’t care ‘bout a thing
Now the money in my pocket, but it don’t feel the same
I miss the old days, ridin’ slow in the rain
You said you’d never change, but you ain’t stay the same
Now I’m alone with my thoughts, tryna numb all the pain
I got a million on my mind, but I still feel strange
⸻
Verse 2 (Trap-drill pain, Stunna Gambino vibe)
I been movin’ dangerous, heart on ice
Still love you, even though you ain’t mine
I been chasin’ these dreams, tryna block out the noise
But your voice still echo when I close my eyes
We was young, livin’ reckless, fallin’ too deep
Now you out here buildin’ what we couldn’t keep
I don’t hate you, nah, I just miss what we was
Two broken souls tryna feel real love
I see your smile in my dreams, then I wake up alone
Every song that I write feel like writin’ you home
They say time heal wounds, but it lie sometimes
‘Cause you still be the pain that live in my rhymes
⸻
Bridge (sung, haunting)
If I could go back, I’d do it again
Even if it end in this heartbreak
I’d still choose you in every lifetime
Even if you still walk away
⸻
Final Hook (bigger, emotional)
I miss the old days, when love was pure
When you was my cure and my war
We was fightin’ the world, side by side
Now I’m fightin’ my demons alone in the dark
I miss the old days, when you was mine
When your heart and my heart was aligned
Now I’m stuck in the past, tryna heal what you break
Still in love with the you from yesterday
⸻
Outro (whispered, fading)
Yeah…
I don’t miss who you are…
I miss who we were…
Noble…
Providence nights…
