“Miss The Old Days”

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…
