VERSE 1

I FEEL ALONE
SURROUNDED BY WORN OUT FACES
IN CROWDED PLACES
I’M ON MY OWN
JUST TRYING TO GET BACK

VERSE 2

AND I CAN’T HIDE
THE GUY THAT I USED TO BE
WHEN IT WAS YOU AND ME
I’M TRYING TO FIND
THE GIRL THAT I KNEW

BRIDGE 1

I GAINED SO MUCH, LOSING TOUCH
IN THE MADNESS OF IT ALL
I WAS CAUGHT, I WAS TRAPPED
GOTTA TAKE ME BACK TO

CHORUS

THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
WITH YOUR DREAMS AND OUR SIMPLE PLANS
THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
NOBODY LOVED ME THE WAY YOU CAN
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE

VERSE 3

TIME TO MOVE
I’M CLEARING A PATHWAY THROUGH
I CAN JUST SEE YOU
AND I WON’T BE LONG
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
BUT I CAN’T BREAK THROUGH
THERE’S TOO MANY PEOPLE STANDING AND BEING DEMANDING
REACH OUT FOR ME
AND DON’T YOU LET GO

BRIDGE 2

DON’T LOSE YOUR WAY
I HOPE AND PRAY
THAT I REACH YOU ONCE AGAIN
HELP ME OUT
AND HOLD MY HAND
GOTTA TAKE ME BACK TO

CHORUS

THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
WITH YOUR DREAMS AND OUR SIMPLE PLANS
THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
NOBODY LOVED ME THE WAY YOU CAN
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE

CHORUS

THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
WITH YOUR DREAMS AND OUR SIMPLE PLANS
THE WAY YOU WERE, THE WAY YOU WERE
NOBODY LOVED ME THE WAY YOU CAN
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE
OH, OH, OH, OH
TAKE ME BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE
