the way we were

(album: A Reckoning - 2023)

Is this the way we fall out of Love?
Is this the way we say it's enough?
No drama no exit plan
No thrown hands up in the air
No arrival at the end

Hey
Is this the time we try tell the truth?
You say it's me, I say it's not about you
No color no exodus
No harm and no accidents
No taking back what I said

The end never comes like you thought it would
I've been trying to hold tight to something good
Is it the point of no return?
'Cause I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

Outta sight outta mind it's outta my hands
Did I run outta time to tell you I care?
I had a vision somewhere it took a turn
Now I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

Is this the taste you leave on my tongue
After everything is said and left undone
No touch no hand in mine
These days I just can't decide
If you were ever really mine

This is the place you held me and said
Girl count the ways I love you and remember I did
Two star-crossed lonely fools
Killing late nights at the swimming pools
Time went from so kind to so cruel

The end never comes like you thought it would
I've been trying to hold tight to something good
Is it the point of no return?
'Cause I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

Outta sight outta mind it's outta my hands
Did I run outta time to tell you I care?
I had a vision somewhere it took a turn
Now I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were

I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
