The Way It Was lyrics

I checked the time I called you when I shouldn't have, it hurt Did you have my number saved? It's probably best you never heard from me Someone from a lifetime ago Felt like yesterday We were sleeping over, chasin' summers When did you grow up and change? Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away Could I even call your name? Wouldn't know what's left to say Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would It will never be the way, the way it was Don't know if you settled down with him You might have bought a house and a car with him Heard you're involved, but I can't be sure of it (can't be sure) Did you run or did you walk away from me? You knew me years ago, just the way you wanted to You never tried to love me, tried to love me, like I do I would've given more, given everything to you You've had enough time to find me in this crowded room Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away Could I even call your name? Wouldn't know what's left to say Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would It will never be the way, the way it was Lookin' down on me, I think your head's up in the clouds I could always tell you're never happy with yourself Why you wanna run around and act like someone else? It's playin' on my mind, and can I tell you somethin' else? We were never too far away from the edge I could only try my best till the end I swear you've got my number if there's anything that you wanna say Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away (I let you slip away) Could I even call your name? Wouldn't know what's left to say Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would It will never be the way, the way it was The way it was The way it was The way it was The way it was The way it was The way, the way it was
