the way i used to

In the way, in the way
In the way I used to
Yeah
Friday night, I'm paranoid, faded out like polaroids
Liquid courage in my veins right now
I always hit you up when there's too much in my cup, yeah
That's when those memories start gettin' loud, yeah
I didn't mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out
I swear I'm doing better off without you
So I don't know why, but I wanna find out
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
Does somebody touch you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin', it's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean—
Still posting all your pictures
Damn, I wish you looked different
Without that sorry look on your eyes
And yeah, you made me crazy
Do I miss you? Well, maybe
Or am I drunk on the idea tonight?
Mmm, I didn't mean to write a song about you
But a couple shots and all the words pour out (words pour out)
I swear I'm doing better off without you
So I don't know why, but I wanna find out (I wanna find out)
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
Does somebody touch you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin', it's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
In the way, in the way
In the way I used to (yeah)
In the way, in the way
In the way I used to
And damn, your voice is all up in my head again
The space between us don't stop me from wonderin'
I didn't mean to write a song about you, no, no
Here we are though
And now I gotta know
Does somebody love you (does somebody love you) in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to (to)
Does somebody touch you in the way I do? (in the way I do)
I mean, the way I used to
I know it's three in the mornin', it's tequila talkin'
Damn, your voice is all up in my head again
Does somebody love you in the way I do?
I mean, the way I used to
Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin' (the way I used to)
Ignore me
It's just tequila talkin' (the way I used to)
