hey you look at me
why is it just so hard to see
anything that isn't you
in the ever passing moments
that seem to fly right past
i used to think that this was ok
and that things were going fine
but used to be is no more
and im sicking of looking out below
it isn't fair how things go!!!
(chorus)
SO what happened to the days
that we used to have fun in?
who said that this was easy
cuz you've got another thing coming
you can try to cut the corners
but you'll never make it that far
you be right back from where you start
those days weren't built to last
why did they retreat so fast?
you remember all those times
that we said we would stay the same
well what happened to our plans?
as the months turned to years
our paths seemed to part ways
with all new curve and unexpected drops
all the girls and getting mad props
we used to think nothing would phase us
but the truth never stayed gold
(chorus)
SO what happened to the days
that we used to have fun in?
who said that this was easy
cuz you've got another thing coming
you can try to cut the corners
but you'll never make it that far
you be right back from where you start
those days weren't built to last
why did they retreat so fast?
(bridge)
And i used to think that we could go back
but it never seems to work out anymore
its just part of living up to
all the expectations and new hieghts
but someday it will be like this again
and i can't wait to see you come around
because unlike all those times we were built to last
and one day we'll come back----
(chorus)
SO what happened to the days
that we used to have fun in?
who said that this was easy
cuz you've got another thing coming
you can try to cut the corners
but you'll never make it that far
you be right back from where you start
those days weren't built to last
why did they retreat so fast?
