The Way We Were lyrics

You can have him cause he is poison And yes i loved you but that was a long time ago And i've been waiting for my moment Always lining all my ducks up in a row See i've been hurt too and i will hurt again And yes i loved you but you put me in my place And now you're smiling or at least there's something For me to wipe off your beautiful face See my pain is extra-complicated It's not just some general malaise And my dreams have been obliterated In a hundred different ways You can have him because he loved you We'll meet up later at the end of it all And how i've waited for that moment To see you crumble to see you crushed to see you crawl And yes i killed him and he deserved it But you know it hurt me to put him in his place And now you're smiling or at least there's something For me to wipe off your beautiful face Don't you remember when we were standing on the edge Oh for those carefree bittersweet long-ago wonderful days Oh for the calm before Oh for the eye of the storm Oh for the way we were
