The Way It Was Lyrics

Yeah

I'm tryina

I'm tryina

Let me talk to 'em

Yeah

Okay

Okay

Okay

You know you do me bad now one too many times

I don't mind

I can't refocus baby you've been on my mind

Tell me once

Two times baby tell me twice

You've been on some bullshit so have I

We been on some different type of time

But it's alright cause you know

I don't wanna run from shit I've tried to fix for so long

I'm tryina work this out I can't escape it no more

We on the same shit runnin' from the same shit baby

I'm tryina change this back to the way it was

It looks to me you got your perfect little life without me

But your friends been saying all you do is cry about me

But when we were still together tryin' to weather storms

Forever was the goal but it was toxic with the fighting shouting

And the lies you told can't lie they left me highly doubting

I was angry and I took it out on my surroundings

Now I'm patching up the walls your picture used to hang on

I can't hang on anymore I'm done with this damn right I'm outie

I can't believe I almost let you kill the passion in me

At the beginning-I was defending-you against his accusations…

I can't believe you had me fooled my backwards bending

Path of descending-madness in me-you beat me congratulations…

I guess you're just the person they all said you were

I was warned about it but I kept my eyes closed

Can a person ever really change their character

I don't know but now I only hold my mic close

I don't wanna run from shit I've tried to fix for so long

I'm tryina work this out I can't escape it no more

We on the same shit runnin' from the same shit baby

I'm tryina change this back to the way it was

And by the way it was-I don't mean how it was between us

I mean before us let the chorus take a new perspective

Because I know I'm worth a lot-but you're the fucking meanest

Tryina break me down and shit on my entire collective

When I write a song I write until my souls shook

And baby girl you just jumped right up into my notebook

That's really not the place I recommend you keep your name

Because I'll use that shit to tell our story girl and you can keep the blame

Away from me-or shit I'll keep it I don't really mind

I'll be the bad guy in your fairytale any time

You can waste your tears on me but we can't hit rewind

You did that damage and together we'd commit the crimes

The only thing I'll ask is your lips never say my name

And I'll keep yours up out this song so I can do the same

Take this shit back to the way-it was before we screwed with things

And threw away a friendship just to play our little stupid games

I don't wanna run from shit I've tried to fix for so long

I'm tryina work this out I can't escape it no more

We on the same shit runnin' from the same shit baby

I'm tryina change this back to the way it was

I don't wanna run from shit I've tried to fix for so long

I'm tryina work this out I can't escape it no more

We on the same shit runnin' from the same shit baby

I'm tryina change this back to the way it was
