The Way it Was

Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same again Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same Your oversight was an oversight And it's too late to be trying to control us right Just let us run free, free to live our life Just let us feel the freedom through the days and nights Your overreach reached way over me And when you went behind my back it was over see Cuz when you went over my head you were dead to me Destroying the relationship eventually Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same again Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same Your need for control left us feeling controlled As you treated us like kids who should just do what we were told And as we built up courage and came in from the cold A resistance in all of us would enter the fold Time passed, we got grown, we made calls on our own Deciding what to do in groups or even alone When to party all night and when to head on home And there was no returning to the life that we'd once known Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same again Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same You undermined thoughts that once were fine You overwhelmed me with ideas and put them under mine And so with more and more consistency your blunders climbed Up so high and to the point where we were done this time We discussed it, we were disgusted In need of healing for the feelings that were once trusted Relationships they be like railings, old and rusted Understand we cut our hands but still we adjusted Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same again Well we can't go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was No we can't go back to the way it was It'll never be the same
