"The Way It Was" lyrics

Orla Gartland & Martin Luke Brown Lyrics

"The Way It Was"
(from "Trying: Season 5" soundtrack)

I'm on the outside looking in
Telling everyone this looks like trouble
Indulge me in my god damn suffering honey
Nothings gonna burst this bubble

All the words I kept on swallowing
Now it's changing and it's all your fault
Listen to me when I tell you
That everything was fine
The way it was

Hey, hey
It's another day
Looking right out at the station
From the fire escape
Change, change
Coming like a train
Never know what you've got going
'Til it's gone away

My life
It was calm and nice
Had some money in my pocket
And some friends I liked
Gone, gone
I'm the only one
Oh show me where it all went wrong

I'm on the outside looking in
Telling everyone this looks like trouble
Indulge me in my god damn suffering honey
Nothings gonna burst this bubble

All the words I kept on swallowing
Now it's changing and it's all your fault
Listen to me when I tell you
That everything was fine
The way it was

I'm on the outside looking in
Watching all the air turn blue
You said don't make a problem where there isn't one
I said - what if the problem's you?

All the words I kept on swallowing
Now it's changing and it's all your fault
Listen to me when I tell you
That everything was fine
The way it was
