An old Toy

Lyrics

Verse 1 I know the paint is peeling from my sides, And one wheel doesn’t turn the way it should, I’ve got scratches from the years we’ve lived, And stories buried deep inside the wood. I know you’ve found new treasures in this world, Bright and shiny things that caught your eye, While I sit here collecting dust and time, Watching seasons and the years go by. Pre-Chorus But every mark upon me came from loving you, Every crack and every scar is proof… Chorus So reuse me like an old toy, Pull me from the shelf tonight. Though you’ve outgrown all the games we played, I still remember how to make you smile. Reuse me like an old toy, Though the batteries have faded low. The world may say my time has passed, But I’ve still got some love left to show. Verse 2 I know your hands are bigger than before, And the dreams you chase are far from here. You don’t need me like you used to need me, I understand that part, my dear. But every child keeps a box somewhere, Filled with pieces they could not throw away. Not because they’re perfect anymore, But because they helped them find their way. Pre-Chorus And if your heart gets tired of chasing something new, You’ll know exactly where I’ve been… Chorus So reuse me like an old toy, Pull me from the shelf tonight. Though you’ve outgrown all the games we played, I still remember how to make you smile. Reuse me like an old toy, Though the colors aren’t as bright. You don’t have to love me like before, Just let me matter one more time. Bridge I don’t need to be your favorite anymore, I don’t need to be the one you choose. I just want to know the years we shared Weren’t something meant to lose. If love has changed its shape and name, If your heart has found another home, Could you still hold me for a moment, Before you leave me here alone? Final Chorus Reuse me like an old toy, One last adventure through the night. Though you’ve outgrown me, I still carry Every memory inside. Reuse me like an old toy, Before you close that box for good. Because even broken things can still be loved, If someone remembers that they could… Outro (softly) So if you ever miss the person I was, You’ll find me where you’ve always known… An old toy waiting in the corner, Still hoping to come home.
