The Way That You Were - Sleep Token

We are not young enough to know

How to sit and say nothing like we would

And you are too tired to control

How you look like you feel, like you should

And you think I don’t notice

The way that you were

And act like you don’t feel it

The way that you were

And you barely believe it

The way that you were

And I am so ready

To tear that knife from what once

Would have been dead fingers

Lying blue against the floor

And you will no longer

Stand between collapsing walls

Wearing a smile

Like you can’t bear it anymore

Come on, tear off the bandage

The way that you were

And with pain as your language

The way that you were

Will you show me the damage?

The way that you were

No, oh

Well, how much did they hurt you?

The way that you were

And how much did they break you?

The way that you were

And how far did they take you?

The way that you were

You will never be the same

No, never, ah

You will never be the same

No, never, ah

You will never be the same

No, never, ah

Ah, ah, no, ah, ah
