The Way We Are
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'm backseat to your freeway,
This could never be safe
Cause I might get lost in you.
I'm just a little bit defeated,
I've got my reasons
One being you're just passing through.
You know I love you but I'm
Feeling afraid, you never say
One thing to keep me holding on;
You push me away.
Why do you lie beside me,
When you never have time
And you're fine without me?
And I think it's pretty unlikely,
That the words on your mind
Could ever inspire me
To stay and love the way we are.
Every time you are lonely,
Why am I the only one
You come running to?
Got me saying that "I love you"
When I know that the truth is
You could trade me for something new.
You keep me hanging like you're
So unaware, you're never there.
you should know better but you don't,
And it's never fair!
Why do you lie beside me,
When you never have time
And you're fine without me?
And I think it's pretty unlikely,
That the words on your mind
Could ever inspire me
To stay and love the way we are.
Somebody wake,
Somebody shake me from
The hold she has on me.
I'm so afraid,
I wanna be saved but what
if she let's go of me?
Why do you lie beside me,
When you never have time
And you're fine without me?
And I think it's pretty unlikely,
That the words on your mind
Could ever inspire me
To stay and love the way we are.
