What We Were Lyrics by Meri Amber

Retro Sherbet

2016

[Verse 1]
You left me and at the time
It almost hurt but I was fine
Cause I could hold to everything I had
I focused on the ceiling
In the morning when I woke without you
Then I made my breakfast like I always did
And oh the time you showed me all your Tazos wiped
Just like us, two kids dressing up as adults
And oh I’m lost and better off in denial
Moving on, cause alone has no instruction manual
[Chorus]
What we were, what we were
I can’t forget what we were
What we were, what we were
What we were, what we were
I can’t forget what we were
What we were, what we were
[Verse 2]
You left me and I was fine
But now I’m losing control of my mind
And the blurry shapes of our past are flooding back
And oh I wonder how many sunsets it takes to seal the cut
To stop these sickly sweet memories of us
I don’t need to remember how you felt when I was cold
And I didn’t say a thing but you’d just know and you’d hold me
Take me out, show me off to your friends and be so damn proud of me
[Chorus]
What we were, what we were
I can’t forget what we were
What we were, what we were
What we said, what we did
All the things I could forgive
What we were, what we were
What we were, what we were
