Lyrics The Way we Were - Nova Rockafeller

The way it was
We're not the way we were
It's not the way it was
We're not the way we were
I love you
A day has never passed that I haven't
I'm attracted to your imagination, beauty, and talent
Before I really knew you, I just knew that it would happen
Instant passion
Gave my heart although I knew it would flatten
And I just wanted to call, so I could listen
You told me that I do it wrong
I'm trying to do it different
I'm homesick
And fucking everything I'm missing
But I tell you that I miss you
Asking who I think I'm kidding
And I ain't heard you in a minute, look
It's got me thinking 'bout cabbin' from this shitty club
Six hundred dollars in my pocket from the set
I swear I'd spend it all if I thought that it would get me there
Before we met it's like I sorta just knew
Didn't get but could imagine it
I heard your first tune
And I wept while the room lit up with lighters
Couldn't believe my ears
It's like they give up to a silence like I heard your tune for years
Everytime the world was quiet
I close my eyes and recognize those things I heard inside it
Lost it, tried to find it
We're offset with the time
Until we spent hours starin' off to the horizon
Smokin' rock and chillin'
Smokin' rock and drivin'
From smokin' through the arguments
To smokin' through the silence
We're smoking 'cause we miss it
So we smoke so we can find it
Wanna smoke 'til we feel different
Yeah we're smokin' while we're crying
And every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
Every single time he says I'm on my last chance
Then every time I try, he still tells me that I'm not
Says I ain't spendin' time, but I'm spendin' all I got
Every time I fuck up he ain't comin' back
Every single time he says I'm on my last chance
And every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
Every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
Yeah, I can't believe we gave it all away
When I try to move on, it just ain't the same
Don't get me wrong, life is good
And there ain't no pain
But I've been thinking about you all mother fucking day
I know you feel the same
And I ain't sad that you with her
It don't change a thing
That what we had was just bigger than anything, everything
Man, just give me something
You were just like me, so I know you feel nothing
Remember that last night
Smokin' so much so we forget about the lying
Say we won't lose touch
Now you ain't fuckin' replying
But you in my blood
See through with me when I'm dying
See we made those cuts
You can even laugh at it
And I ain't goin' back
And you actin' like you hate my guts
But that's fake as fuck
You feel that same damn love
And you can't tell me that I made that up
And every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
Every single time he says I'm on my last chance
Then every time I try, he still tells me that I'm not
Says I ain't spendin' time, but I'm spendin' all I got
Every time I fuck up he ain't comin' back
Every single time he says I'm on my last chance
And every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
Every time I fuck up, he ain't comin' back
I remember lookin' for you like I knew your face
Like I can see it in your eyes
I recognize just a trace
From the room when I first saw you
I just knew you'd been missin'
I had so many questions but I knew you in an instant
I remember you first every time I need a minute
Put you in my head and just get lost in it
And I meant every word
But I hope you didn't listen
'Cause I didn't wanna say it
It just felt right
It's not the way it was
We're not the way we were
It's not the way it was
We're not the way we were
