Way It Was Before Lyrics by Kerry Badgley

Pieces to Yesterday

2009

[Verse]
On this cold, dark winter evening
I reflect on the year gone by
Lookin' at photographs of old memories
When something catches my eye
It's an old picture of you and me
Standing happily side-by-side
Not a care in the world
Just a smile on your face
As we stood there in that place
[Chorus]
If only I had known
The outcome of my decision
I would not have gone on and messed up
The way things were
And if you could find it in your heart
To forgive me;
I would be a bettеr man
But if you never want to talk to me again
I'd undеrstand
I just wish there was a way
To get things back
To the way it was before
To the way it was before
Whoa-oh-oh
[Verse]
We had only just become friends
Not even six months before
But on this hot, summer day in September
I went and threw it all out the door
The rain is now long gone
And the flame is a distant memory
But I still sit here waiting
Hoping that the skies
Will clear up once again
And that we can still be friends
[Chorus]
If only I had known
The outcome of my decision
I would not have gone on and messed up
The way things were
And if you could find it in your heart
To forgive me;
I would be a better man
But if you never want to talk to me again
I'd understand
I just wish there was a way
To get things back
To the way it was before
I'm sorry for everything
[Verse]
As I place the photo back
I stare into the night
I don't know how it went so wrong
Still I wish I could make things right
But I know that would take a miracle
And I know that my luck is bad
So I sit here and write this song
As an ode to the fun we once had
[Chorus]
If only I had known
The outcome of my decision
I would not have gone on and messed up
The way things were
And if you could find it in your heart
To forgive me;
I would be a better man
But if you never, ever want to talk to me again
I'd understand
I just wish there was a way
I still hope there is a way
Please call me up some day
And let's get this back
To the way it was before
