Way It Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I heard you kicked holes in your apartment
They came to pick you up off the floor
You said you've been alright since we last talked
I guess I don't know you anymore
I'm finding out it's not the way it was
Just not the way it was
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
I'm longing for the comfort of home
I've lost touch with the people I know
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
I heard you filled up the bath with poison
It ripped of the skin on both your legs
You said you were stranded there with no help
I guess you were all too proud to beg
I'm finding out it's not the way it was
Just not the way it was
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
I'm longing for the comfort of home
I've lost touch with the people I know
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
There's a fine line separating ones you love
From the ones you keep just to have someone
And I'm alone now, and I'm alone now
Came to terms with thinking I'm the one to blame
'Cause I fill my voids with mistakes I make
And I'm alone now, and I'm alone
I'm longing for the comfort of home
I've lost touch with the people I know
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
Do I believe what you said, was it all true?
