NF - I Miss The Days Lyrics






I miss the days when
I had a smile on my face and
Wasn't so caught up in all of the small things
Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone
And wasn't so cautious, and always exhausted
And actually listened to things that my heart said, heart said
Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike
Not overthinkin' my life
Not always wonderin' if I'm a likable person
Or someone that nobody likes
Not always stressin' 'bout money
Or losin' my job or scared I ain't makin' the flight
Not always going to bed every night
With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds

What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it
And question my purpose to breath?
Wonderin' who I should be, happiness outta my reach
Scared to get back on my feet
Need to get rid of what's detrimental
But it's hard to let go
When the thing that hurt you helped you get to your dream
See, I miss the days when I wasn't so faded
Love wasn't always invasive, I could embrace it
Just innocent, waitin', not always living in anguish
When did I break and become over taken?
What was the moment I caved and gave away all of my faith
And made a replacement? I miss the days when, I miss the days when

I miss the smiles we had when we were young
I miss the memories of feeling love
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun
Staring out the window when the rain would come
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah
When we had joy and we were innocent
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

Gimme my mind back, yeah, gimme my mind back
The one that told me I was worth something when I fall flat, yeah fall flat
The one that told me I was worth something when I'm off track
Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage
And it was free to run fast
Yeah, gimme my mind back, gimme my-gimme my mind back
Before it was hi-jacked and wasn't described as
A place of limitation always indicating I can't
Handle everything from my past
Handed anything it dissects
Till I'm depressed, I know I'm blessed
But I'm cursed too

Take me back when, I was happy but I wasn't acting
Vulnerable but didn't see it like some kinda weakness
Or a thing that's unattractive
Had emotion but I learned to mask it
Didn't know what I was running after
Didn't know the older I would grow the more I lose control
And takin' all the baggage, it's really sad when
Everything you thought was stable crashes
Everything you thought would take the sadness
Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin'
Will we ever feel like we imagine?
Will we ever feel like we adapted?
Will we ever feel like we did back then?
Just take me back when, just take me back when

I miss the smiles we had when we were young
I miss the memories of feeling love
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun
Staring out the window when the rain would come
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah
When we had joy and we were innocent
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

Yeah

Yeah
I miss the smiles we had when we were young
I miss the memories of feeling love
I miss us runnin' underneath the sun
Staring out the window when the rain would come
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah
When we had joy and we were innocent
I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

    I relate to this so much I'm Lil crying😢

  38. M.... B....

    There is always this feeling that NF has when he sings . I can't explain it but it's a great feeling. No matter if it's something more hard like the search or something calm like this it's the same feeling that hits you deep.

  39. T.... ....

    this song hits my soul

  40. I.... ....

    "Gave away all of my faith and made a replacement."

    God damn.

  41. A.... ....

    I think NF is so under-rated, like only 5M subs. He should have A-LOT more; for the type of content he offers.


    To be honest, he hasn't won a Grammy witch is very surprising.

  42. S.... E....

  51. B.... l....

    I'm going a state where I don't see the point of anything I always only able to see the bad stuff in thing I have lost my confidence , my determination, myself. I don't care about anything anymore. I want my old self again I used to be happy and excited about everything. Were the hell am I. And people are noticing and I hate it cause I'm not a person to open up about myself. I'm always there for people but no one's there for me

  52. C.... R....

    “not always going to bed every night with this knot in my stomach that never unwinds”






    like if u can relate.

  53. R.... M....

    K.... G....

    What songs do you prefer?

    K.... G....

    MidgetWidget
    Ones that are upbeat

    K.... G....

    @Kailee Gray I can't think of upbeat NF songs but here are some of my favourites from him.

    NF - Returns
    NF - Only ft. Sasha Sloan
    NF - Time
    NF - If You Want Love
    NF - Ten Feet Down
    NF - Hate Myself
    NF - Like This
    NF - Nate
    NF - Dreams
    NF - My Life
    NF - Destiny
    NF - Know

    If you want to know more about him and why most of his songs have these dark element to it, I'd suggest listening to How Could You Leave Us and Mansion first.

    K.... G....

    MidgetWidget
    Thankyou

  62. Z.... L....

    when he said "I know im blessed but im cursed too" I felt that. no meme

  63. -.... ....

    Me: I'm just gonna go listen to some music and go to bed
    *listens to this song for the first time*
    *cries for a full ten minutes afterwards*
    Love this song. I really feel it. 💗

  64. D.... P....

    He is a incredibly gifted artist!

  65. a.... b....

    I love your music

  66. N.... s....

    He is one of the corniest rappers out all his lyrics are is him feeling sorry for him self him talking about how much better he is than all these other rapper there are so many rappers out there like him but because he doesn’t bad language you all like him I bet if he sad a bad word u all would turn him off and never listen to him again I’m not here to hate just here to spread the truth

    N.... s....

    Lol be quiet, if your not a fan, why you listening to his music

    N.... s....

    Yeah but his songs r super cool

    N.... s....

    Jonathan Coy X? Yea I like X too, he good. But he’s over talking trash on Nate for no reason

    N.... s....

    That's why I couldn't understand a single word you said, you listen to mumble trash. Before you say X isn't a full mumble rapper, he still mumbled. Not all of NF songs are him feeling sorry for himself, you obviously haven't fully heard of his whole discography. His past four albums are literally a story that correlates with each other. You wouldn't comprehend because your ears and judgment are clouded by trash music and a bad artist as a whole.

    N.... s....

    @No shirt Gamer X's music hits harder? What are you smoking? All I could hear is mumble jumbled words supported with auto tune. You could literally hear the raw emotion and pain in NF's voice in How Could You Leave Us and he incorporated that emotion with comprehensible lyrics unlike X. The only X that I ride with is DMX and not that mumbler.

  67. C.... W....

    This song gets me through every day.

  68. D.... s....

    The second verse hit the hardest out of the entire album.

    I want my fucking mind back

  69. L.... B....

    Me too, Nate.

    Me too.

  70. B.... B....

    his songs really just hit different

  71. H.... E....

    Every depressing song to me I connect to him a lot

  72. N.... E....

    people mostly talk about these rappers that are promoting drugs and crime and violence but don't care to do something good unless it benefits them SMFH

  73. M.... D....

    Hit the like if NF helped you through depression or suicide thoughts

  74. M.... D....

    When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it
    Then question my purpose to breathe?

    I totally did not cry after/while listening to this song

  75. H.... H....

    One of your greatest pieces

  76. H.... O....

    630 people miss the days when mumble rap was popular. Like if you agree.

  77. N.... 1....

    Hey I’d appreciate it if everyone can take 2 seconds and check out my YouTube page. Promise you’d love it

  78. K.... M....

    This song hits me hard.

  79. D.... A....

    man this track cuts so deeply

  80. B.... D....

    i love NF its the best

  81. T.... A....

    Remember when life was so simple? When friends would come over everyday and we would do Christmas crafts and shit? Wish I go back.

  82. C.... Y....

    Song hits home

  83. I.... ....

    Why does this song hit hard, listening to it feels like I'm listening to myself. Damn

  84. C.... H....

    literally every lyric in this song is just too relatable. it's crazy to think that a single person like nf is so talented to put together such a song like this. it's crazy.

  85. B.... L....

    "If God isn't real, then real isn't real" love this dood.

  86. t.... M....

    My childhood wasn't that great but here I am playing this song on repeat..go figure

  87. J.... B....

    [Verse 1]
    I miss the days when I had a smile on my face and
    Wasn't so caught up in all of the small things
    Wasn't so adamant that I could handle everything alone
    And wasn't so cautious and always exhausted
    And actually listened to things that my heart said, heart said
    Ridin' my bike, just ridin' my bike

    Not always stressed about money or losin' my job
    Or scared I ain't makin' a flight
    Not always goin' to bed every night
    With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds
    What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
    When did I start to believe I wasn't worth it
    Then question my purpose to breathe?
    Wonderin' who I should be
    Happiness out of my reach
    Scared to get back on my feet
    Need to get rid of what's detrimental, but it's hard to let go
    When the thing that hurts you help you get to your dreams

    Gave away all of my faith and made a replacement?
    I miss the days when, I miss the days when—

    I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (Oh)
    I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (Oh)

    I'd give it all to feel that way again, way again

    [Verse 2]
    Give me my mind back, yeah
    Give me my mind back
    The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I fall flat
    Yeah, fall flat
    The one that told me I was worth somethin' when I'm off track
    Back when my imagination wasn't in a cage and it was free to run fast
    Yeah, give me my mind back
    Yeah, give me my, give me my mind back
    Before it was hijacked and wasn't described as
    A place of limitation, always indicating I can't
    Handle everything from my past
    Handed anything it dissects 'til I'm depressed

    The gospel at he end❤❤❤🙌

  89. C.... W....

    This song hits me hard...like I feel emotional with the lyrics & the way he raps it 😏

  90. C.... C....

    This song hits home

  91. M.... D....

    The man is so cold. Speak from the heart. This is the future of music... at least what it should be. Stay strong people. We all go through things but it's our decision on what we do after. Me personally I let it eat me up inside and become so hateful and negative and I take it out on the people I love and the truth it's I'm not going to be able to stop. But once day I will because I'm determined with a focused ferocity to achieve my goals and dreams so I pick back up and continue to build knowing I'm destined for another fall. But never give up on YOU.

  92. K.... J....

    Please come to Montana or close <3

  93. J.... S....

    Girls: Billie Eilish is so sad :(
    NF and the boys: Hold my balloons.

  94. D.... S....

    it's crazy how one artist can bring so many strangers together

  95. Z.... H....

    YOU HELP WTH MY DEPRESSION

  96. Z.... H....

    I LOVE U NF
