How Things Were Lyrics by A-Rodd

333 Doubt AVE.

2018

[Intro]
I, miss how things were, I
Miss how things were, I

(AR on the beat!)

[Chorus]
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I said I miss how things were, I miss how things were
It all goes back, it all goes back, we go way back girl
It all goes back, yeah
It all goes back
I said it all goes back, yeah
It all goes back

[Verse 1]
I had a shorty on the side
I had you both could not decide
I didn’t look at it for what it was
And now I’m lost

But I just got too much pride to reach back to ya
I got too attached, like a leech into ya
You always said don’t let nobody leash on you
I just happen to be the one you teach it to

Said I miss you but I can’t come back
I tried to run game but I can’t run back
I know your heart was beating like a drum, no no
And I know that I made your feelings numb, no no

I just wish I could go back around you
Even though I say this when she down on me
Even though she's not down for me, like you down for me
When you spin rounds on me, go rounds on me

[Bridge]
And it comes back to me, and I’m back
It always comes back to me
And I swear I’m so sorry, I know you tried to stop me (yeah)
I know you tried to stop me (yeah)
From being on my ways, we was just going through something
On a different page, you knew I wasn’t nothing, nah

[Chorus]
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I said I miss how things were, I miss how things were
It all goes back, it all goes back, we go way back girl
It all goes back, yeah
It all goes back
I said it all goes back, yeah
It all goes back

[Verse 2]
I told you she was just a friend
A friendship I didn’t wanna end
I was too young I was too immature
And for my ways you felt so insecure

I promise I didn’t mean that shit at all though
You ain’t show me love, she gave it all though
You never showed the effort that I gave you
But somehow that resulted in me playing you

But I guess we both in pain now
Both y’all feel the same now
Tears they make it rain now
(yeah)
Damn now times have changed now
Feelings feeling staged now
I’m the one to blame now

But I guess it’s fuck love, I
Guess I got the worst luck, I
And in the start it was just puppy love
But in the end that shit done fucked me up

[Bridge 2]
I just want
Baby I, just want
Peace no war between us
Peace no war between us
I just want
Baby I, just want
You to understand me
You to understand me

[Chorus]
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I miss how things were, I miss how things were
I said I miss how things were, I miss how things were
It all goes back, it all goes back, we go way back girl
It all goes back, yeah
It all goes back
I said it all goes back, yeah
It all goes back


(AR on the beat!)
