The Way Things Were Lyrics by Edbl

The Way Things Were (Single)

2019

[Intro]
(Bad guy in a movie
Bad guy in a movie
Bad guy in a movie, movie)
[Verse]
I was impatient
I was unsure
Spent too much time trying to seem mature
I took it for granted
I know I took my time
But I've come around and want you to be mine
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all a little better now
But I still regret
Might be better now
But baby, don't forget
[Chorus]
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie (bad guy in a movie)
[Verse]
It must have been hard
To keep your cool
When you were hanging out with such a fool
I don't know why you stayed
You must have felt so played
Like we were back in school
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all a little better now
But I still regret
Might be better now (oh, oh, ah)
But baby, don't forget
[Chorus]
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie (bad guy in a movie)
[Instrumental Break]
(I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie
I was the bad guy in a movie)
[Bridge]
It's all a little better now
But I still regret
Might be better now
But baby, don't forget
But baby, don't forget
[Chorus]
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie (bad guy in a movie)
The way things were
Do you remember how they used to be?
On reflection babe, I won't do the same
I was the bad guy in a movie (bad guy in a movie)
