The Way It Was Before

When we wake up, we fall out with the rain
We sing about love to forget about pain
Out on a busy street never felt so alone

We buy new friends and throw the old ones away
What does it matter if your girlfriend says
"I didn't fall for you for money, but how would you know?"

And I, I can't see where the good is anymore
Don't ask me why we can't go back to the way it was before

Write your mum a letter, she'd rather not text
Give your girl a kiss, that'll pay for the rest
Don't underestimate the power of words

Throw on a record and dance to the noise
Sing at the top of your silent voice
Cause that's the most beautiful sound that I've ever heard
And you're the most beautiful sound I've ever heard

And I, I can't see where the good is anymore
Don't ask me why we can't go back to the way it was before

Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday

You'll throw out your feelings to find her there
You'll open your wallet but she won't care
The cold of your heart was such that it froze her to death

Now I'm no better than anyone else
Maybe this song is just a cry for help
I breathe hate in but love with every breath
So breathe hate in but love with every breath

And I, I can't see where the good is anymore
Don't ask me why we can't go back to the way it was before
We can't revert to the way it was before
