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
