Maroon 5 Lyrics
"The Way I Was"

Making love to a picture frame one more time tonight
You can tell by the lines in her smile
Something is not right
Where are you hiding (hiding) ?
She's on the outside, I'm on the inside crying (crying)
Just another crazy boy hungry for your

Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I
Feel the never need to go back to
The way I was, the way I was

I tried and tried and tried and tried
But I have no concept of consequence
And I'm a master of self-defence
Days get longer, life gets shorter
She rips me like no other
So oh, dripping from head to toe
Where are you hiding (hiding) ?
She's on the outside, I'm on the inside crying (crying)

Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I
Feel the never need to go back to
The way I was, the way I was
Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I
Feel the never need to go back to
The way I was, the way I was

I can't make the same mistake
If you lose my love, it was yours to take
Break down your door, take a little more
When I need you around
And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low, try and pick me up again but
Let go see how far I get without you
Desperately need more of your

Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I
Feel the never need to go back to
The way I was, the way I was
Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I
Feel the never need to go back to
The way I was, the way I was.
