"Used To Be Young" lyrics
"Used To Be Young"
The truth is bulletproof
There's no fooling you
I don't dress the same
Me and who you say
I was yesterday
Have gone our separate ways
Left my living fast
Somewhere in the past
'Cause that's for chasing cars
Turns out open bars
Lead to broken hearts
And going way too far
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young
Take one, pour it out
It's not worth crying 'bout
The things you can't erase
Like tattoos and regrets
Words I never meant
And ones that got away
Left my living fast
Somewhere in the past
And took another road
Turns out crowded rooms
Empty out as soon
There's somewhere else to go, oh
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young
I know I used to be crazy
Messed up, but God, was it fun
I know I used to be wild
That's 'cause I used to be young
Those wasted nights are not wasted
I remember every one
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That's fine, I've had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That's 'cause I used to be young

According to a post on Twitter, these lyrics were written about two years prior to this song's release. Miley Cyrus wrote, "It was at a time I felt misunderstood. I have spent the last 18 months painting a sonic picture of my perspective to share with you. The time has arrived to release a song that I could perfect forever. Although my work is done, this song will continue to write itself everyday. The fact it remains unfinished is a part of its beauty. That is my life at this moment... unfinished yet complete."
Miley Cyrus followed this track's release with an explanation, "This song is about honoring who we've been, loving who we are and celebrating who we will become. I feel proud when reflecting on my past and optimistic when thinking about the future." She also added, "I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily.
