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 its 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 I should, darlin'
You told me everything would be fine
Why am I losing my mind
How come I feel like a fool
Why do I keep losing you
Why do I love in despair
When you're not there
Chorus
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 shoulda been wiser
But what can I say
I shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid
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 all times sake
Well I'm not about to make the same mistake
Chorus
You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl that you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why
Chorus
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
Shoulda been wiser
But I was afraid I made a mistake
No one knows
