Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The world is cracked, the sky is torn
I'm hangin' in, you're holdin' on
[Verse 2]
Can't pretend that nothing's changed
Livin' in the shadows of the love we made
[Chorus]
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
[Verse 3]
Some dreams live, some will die
But the you in me is still alive
Now, am I blessed? Or am I cursed?
'Cause the way we are ain't the way we were
[Chorus]
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
[Verse 4]
The world is cracked, the sky is torn
So much less meant so much more
[Chorus]
Back when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
[Refrain]
Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful
Back when we were beautiful
