The Way We Were

I’ve been away 'cause I can’t explain it
It isn’t normal to be everything I want
And I hope you find you’re better off now
All of your friends, they hide in tight places
And they always try to bring you down
And I wanna save you, but I just don’t know how
I swear I didn’t wanna leave this
But you can’t pretend we were the way we wanted
When I found you, we were falling hard
Beneath the lights, you’d run away
But I don’t want the way we were
In my tired eyes, I’ve looked everywhere
I can’t sleep no more, I want you here
And I worry that you don’t think of, think of me
Oh, I guess it comes with the territory
I guess I just assumed that you’d be happy
You swore you’d never leave this place without me
But it’s almost been a year
So don’t, don’t think this is what I wanted
I swear I didn’t wanna go
When I found you, we were falling hard
Beneath the lights, you’d run away
But I don’t want the way we were
When I found you we were falling hard
Beneath the lights, you’d run away
But I don’t want the way we were
We built this, so let’s burn it down
We built this up, let’s tear it down
We built this and it’s fallen now
We built this up, let’s burn it down
When I found you, we were falling hard
Beneath the lights, you’d run away
But I don’t want the way we were
No, no, no
