The Way That You Were
We are not young enough to know
How to sit and say nothing like we would
And you are too tired to control
How you look like you feel, like you should
And you think I don't notice
The way that you were
And act like you don't feel it
The way that you were
And you barely believe it
The way that you were
And I am so ready
To tear that knife from what once
Would have been dead fingers
Lying blue against the floor
And you will no longer
Stand between collapsing walls
Wearing a smile
Like you cannot bear it anymore
Come on, tear off the bandage
The way that you were
With pain as your language
The way that you were
Will you show me the damage?
The way that you were
No
How much did they hurt you?
The way that you were
And how much did they break you?
The way that you were
And how far did they take you?
The way that you were
You were (oh, no, and I)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)
How to sit and say nothing like we would
And you are too tired to control
How you look like you feel, like you should
And you think I don't notice
The way that you were
And act like you don't feel it
The way that you were
And you barely believe it
The way that you were
And I am so ready
To tear that knife from what once
Would have been dead fingers
Lying blue against the floor
And you will no longer
Stand between collapsing walls
Wearing a smile
Like you cannot bear it anymore
Come on, tear off the bandage
The way that you were
With pain as your language
The way that you were
Will you show me the damage?
The way that you were
No
How much did they hurt you?
The way that you were
And how much did they break you?
The way that you were
And how far did they take you?
The way that you were
You were (oh, no, and I)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(You will never be the same, oh, no)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)
