the way things were - eli.

Peace is a memory to me

Finally free of the misery you caused me

You just don’t know how to let things go

So they grow and they grow, until all that you know

Is the way that things used to be

All you are is a memory

I need you

I need you

I need you

All I need

All I need

All I need is the way things were

So afraid of falling I can hardly think of how I’d be able to love somebody else

Cause you left such an impact on me I don’t even know how I could be expected

to move on

When I love, I don’t leave

But that’s what you did to me

Now you’re gone

And my friends, they all say

You were bad, full of hate

They’re not wrong

I need you

I need you

I need you

All I need

All I need

All I need is the way things were

The way things were

The way things were

The way things were

The way things were
