Old Me (Clean Version)
[Intro: Luke]
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 mess it up before I really got to know me
[Verse 1: Luke]
Never a night alone, anywhere you wanna go
Woke up in the mornin' wearin' someone else's clothes
Pictures in my phone
With people I don't know
Woke up in the mornin' how the hell'd I make it homе
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
Whilе I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some stuff I never should have done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I'd do it over
[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Calum]
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 mess it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
[Post-Chorus: All]
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 you showed me
Had to mess it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh
[Verse 2: Luke]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
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 stuff I never should have done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I'd do it over
[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Calum]
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 mess it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
[Post-Chorus: All]
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 you showed me
Had to mess it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh
[Bridge: Luke & Ashton, All]
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
[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Calum, Calum]
Shout out to the old me
And everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me (The world was trying to slow me, yeah)
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely (Lonely)
Had to mess it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
[Post-Chorus: All, Calum]
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid (Yeah)
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me (Yeah, the old me)
Had to mess it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh
