The Way it Was Lyrics

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same again

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same

Your oversight was an oversight

And it's too late to be trying to control us right

Just let us run free, free to live our life

Just let us feel the freedom through the days and nights

Your overreach reached way over me

And when you went behind my back it was over see

Cuz when you went over my head you were dead to me

Destroying the relationship eventually

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same again

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same

Your need for control left us feeling controlled

As you treated us like kids who should just do what we were told

And as we built up courage and came in from the cold

A resistance in all of us would enter the fold

Time passed, we got grown, we made calls on our own

Deciding what to do in groups or even alone

When to party all night and when to head on home

And there was no returning to the life that we'd once known

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same again

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same

You undermined thoughts that once were fine

You overwhelmed me with ideas and put them under mine

And so with more and more consistency your blunders climbed

Up so high and to the point where we were done this time

We discussed it, we were disgusted

In need of healing for the feelings that were once trusted

Relationships they be like railings, old and rusted

Understand we cut our hands but still we adjusted

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same again

Well we can't go back to the way it was

The way it was, the way it was

No we can't go back to the way it was

It'll never be the same
