The Way You Loved Me Lyrics

When I walked away

I left you far behind

Never stopped to say

How good it felt inside

Just went my own way

As you sat there still blind

To your mistakes of yesterdays

And your feelings pushed aside

Now your sky is getting gray

Your heart still filled with pride

You wish I would've stayed

As tears slowly filled your eyes

Everything I did, I did it just for you

And even after all the hurt you put me through

I tried my best to see the very best in you

As you tried your best to hide me from the truth

And the truth is

The way you loved me

Wasn't how I should've been loved

The way you loved me

Wasn't like anything I dreamed of

And you didn't care for me

Always put others above

The way you loved me

Oh, the way you loved me

When I said goodbye

And left you all alone

You never asked me why

You really should've known

That a part of me had died

Living under your control

And that every tear I cried

Took a piece of my soul

Now you can keep your lies

And the pain that you've provoked

When you open up your eyes

You will see only my shadow

Everything I did, I did it just for you

And even after all the hurt you put me through

I tried my best to see the very best in you

As you tried your best to hide me from the truth

And the truth is

The way you loved me

Wasn't how I should've been loved

The way you loved me

Wasn't like anything I dreamed of

And you didn't care for me

Always put others above

The way you loved me

Oh, the way you loved me
