Misc Originals – Colin Soucy - I Miss Who I Used To Be (Guitar)

Em
Lately, I’ve been driving past the places

C
Where my whole world used to be

G
All the ghosts of who I was back then

D
Still keep me company

Em
And it hits me how the days felt lighter

C
When I wasn’t trying to pretend

G
I didn’t know that growing older

D
Meant losing pieces of my friends

Em
I miss the late nights, empty streets

C
Where we swore we'd never change

G
Now we barely talk at all

D
And everything feels rearranged

Em
And I ache for all the versions

C
Of myself, I had to leave

G
Sometimes I wake up wishing

D
I could get back what I need

G
Take me back to quiet mornings

D
When the world felt soft and slow

Em
When my heart didn’t feel so heavy

C
From the things I didn’t know

G
Now the years keep pulling forward

D
But they’re dragging parts of me

Em
And I miss the kid who loved the world

C
I miss who I used to be

Em
Everyone says, “You’ll get stronger.”

C
But they don’t see what I’ve lost

G
How the memories keep burning

D
Even sweeter ones have cost

Em
I keep staring at old pictures

C
Like I’m begging them to talk

G
But the past doesn’t ever answer

D
It just watches while I walk

G
Take me back to quiet mornings

D
When the world felt soft and slow

Em
When my heart didn’t feel so heavy

C
From the things I didn’t know

G
Now the years keep pulling forward

D
But they’re dragging parts of me

Em
And I miss the kid who loved the world

C
I miss who I used to be

Am
Maybe growing up just means

Em
Watching everything fade out

C
Learning how to say goodbye

D
To the things you cared about

Am
If the past is just a lesson

Em
Then I don't want to learn it yet

C
’Cause the hardest part of moving on

D
Is knowing what you can't forget

Em
I still drive those empty streets

C
Where the echoes call to me

G
And I whisper back, “I’m trying…”

D
But I miss who I used to be
