"The Way I Do" lyrics

Skinny frame, big old glasses, sat in the back of all the classes
Quiet halls, all alone, "Heart-Shaped Box" in your headphones

All those thoughts you're hearin' got you thinkin' 'bout leavin'
I know the way you're feelin'
'Cause I felt it too

If you loved you the way I do
You wouldn't be such a damn recluse
Up all night in your room
Wishin' you were somewhere new
In a place far away where nobody knows your name
You can disappear, but I don't want you to
Wish you loved you the way I do

The way I, way I—
The way I, way I do
The way I, way I—

Now you drink like you have to, drownin' in the world around you
You love to hide and medicate
Love to bend until you break

And all those thoughts you're hearin' got you thinkin' 'bout leavin'
I know the way you're feelin'
'Cause I felt it too

If you loved you the way I do
You wouldn't be such a damn recluse
Up all night in your room
Wishin' you were somewhere new
In a place far away where nobody knows your name
You can disappear, but I don't want you to
Wish you loved you the way I do

The way I, way I—
The way I, way I do
The way I, way I—
The way I, way I—

I know your heart is breaking
There's nothin' left to lose
I promise you can make it, hell, I'm your livin' proof

If you loved you the way I do
You wouldn't be such a damn recluse
Up all night in your room
Wishin' you were somewhere new
In a place far away where nobody knows your name
You can disappear, but I don't want you to
Wish you loved you the way I do

The way I, way I—
The way I, way I do
The way I, way I—

Oh, the way I, way I do
(The way I, way I—)
(The way I, way I do)
(The way I, way I—)
