Lyrics

The Way We Were

Raindrops, non-stop
Made for, blind spots
Just don't forget about us

Street lights, red eyes
One chance, crunch time
Ain't no way I'm giving you up

There's nothing I can say
Don't throw it all away
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
I'm taking it on faith
It's a thousand miles away
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were

Before I broke the truth
I told you all those lies
And I could blame it on my youth
But baby Imma change for you
Both confused
Imma give you time
To find a way to heal those wounds
But baby Imma change for you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were

Old feels, still real
So high, no pills
That's what I think when I think about us

Somehow, lost that
Derail, off track
Ain't no way that I'm giving you up

There's nothing I can say
Don't throw it all away
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
I'm taking it on faith
It's a thousand miles away
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were

Before I broke the truth
I told you all those lies
And I could blame it on my youth
But baby Imma change for you
Both confused
Imma give you time
To find a way to heal those wounds
But baby Imma change for you

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Just remember the way we were
Just remember the way we were
