Old Me Lyrics

Shout out to the old me
And everything he showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me

Never a night alone
Anywhere you wanna go
Woke up in the morning wearing someone else's clothes
Pictures in my phone
With people I don't know
Woke up in the morning how the hell'd I make it home
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should have done
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything he showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me

Another round here we go
Going in blow for blow
Look into the mirror take the punches that I throw
I'm constantly reminded of all the compromises
By the people from my past who have a hard time letting go
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should have done
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything he showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me

Devil at my door
Got me knockin' knockin' knockin' on the other side
Ashes on the floor
But I'm walkin' walkin' walkin' outta here alive

Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me
Left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me
And everything he showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me
