  • I'm thinking about the old me
    'Cause I've been feeling empty
    I never used to be so dead inside
    I think I lost my memory
    I can't remember carefree
    And all my days turn into fight or flight

    I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
    I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

    Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
    Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
    'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
    Trying to get back to who I used to be
    Where is the old me?

    (Where is the old me?)

    I don't like who I've become
    A hollow shell of someone
    And I feel like a stranger to myself
    I don't need to start over
    I just need to get back to when
    I didn't wake up to this hell I'm in

    Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
    Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
    'Cause I've been losing sleep
    Trying to get back to who I used to be
    Where is the old me?

    (But what happened to the old me?)

    I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
    I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
    Back

    Get back

    I wanna get back to when I didn't think about
    The chance of everything I never thought I'd live without
    But when I look around the only thing I see
    Is the broken pieces of the person who I used to be

    Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
    Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
    'Cause I've been losing sleep
    Trying to get back to who I used to be
    Where is the old me?
    (What happened to the old me?)

    I wanna get back, tell me how to get back Writer/s: Cory Elder, Jake Garland, Kellen McGregor, Matty Mullins
