Lyrics

Intro

Yeah…

We were just eighteen…

Verse

Eighteen, summer in the air

Laughing like we didn’t care

Every moment felt so new

Every little thing was you

Dancing under city lights

Talking ‘til the morning light

I thought we were something real

Guess I never knew the deal

Pre-chorus

You smiled like you felt it too

Every look, I thought it was true

But I was dreaming on my own

While you were already gone

Chorus

We were eighteen, feeling everything

Hearts wide open, chasing every dream

I was falling, you were letting go

Didn’t even know

You said “love” but it wasn’t me

Now you’re standing with somebody

Still I laugh, still I sing

But it hurts at eighteen

Na-na, it’s okay

Oh-oh, I’ll be okay

Verse

Saw you walking hand in hand

With someone I don’t understand

You looked happy, I won’t lie

But it broke me deep inside

Tried to smile, play it cool

Act like I was over you

But the truth I couldn’t fake

I was lost in every way

Pre-chorus

I replay it in my mind

All the signs I left behind

I was blind, I couldn’t see

You were never meant for me

Chorus

We were eighteen, feeling everything

Hearts wide open, chasing every dream

I was falling, you were letting go

Didn’t even know

You said “love” but it wasn’t me

Now you’re standing with somebody

Still I laugh, still I sing

But it hurts at eighteen

Verse

Yeah

I remember every word that you said

Every late night stuck inside my head

Thought you felt it when you held my hand

Guess I never really had a chance

You moved on like it was easy for you

Now I’m stuck tryna figure the truth

Was I nothing? was I just a phase?

Now I’m drowning in the “what if” days

I see your name, yeah it still hits

Tryna move on but I don’t fit

In a world where you’re not mine

But I’ll be fine… yeah, I’ll be fine

Bridge

Maybe one day I’ll look back and smile

Say it was worth it for a while

Even heartbreak has its place

In a young and reckless age

Chorus

We were eighteen, feeling everything

Hearts wide open, chasing every dream

I was falling, you were letting go

Now I finally know

You found love and I found pain

But I’d do it all again

‘Cause I lived, I felt, I dreamed

Even broken at eighteen

Outro

Na-na, I’m okay

Oh-oh, I’ll be okay

Yeah…

We were just eighteen…
