Way Back When Lyrics by SOLOMON (UK)

2018

[Intro]
You're lying ways
Must come to an end
It’s a pointless game
Pretending we're both happy here

If I thought
You meant the things you said
Then why should I keep believing
What you've been laying on my plate

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even if you tried
You can’t even hide
The way your eyes move
When you lie
Shifting side to side

Even if you cried
Should the tears be payment
For the pain
You put me through
This whole entire time?

[Chorus]
That's what I thought
That's what I thought
Way back when
(That's what I thought way back when)
Way back when
(Way back when)

That's what I thought
That's what I thought
Way back when
(That's what I thought way back when)
Way back when
(Way back when)

(That's what I thought way back when)
(Way back when)

[Verse 1]
To think I thought
You might be the one
My heart was blinded by
The wool you pulled over my eyes

[Verse 2]
When from the start
I should’ve trust myself
I thought that I had to stay
But that was not my choice
It was your voice in disguise

[Verse 3]
We got so lost up
In a thing we thought was love
But found
That it was never important
Enough to take priority

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even if I’m right
Now I've finally seen the light
And now I’ve broken
The chain that's been bearing
On my chest

And even if you smile
Does it make up
For all the things you say to me?
Why do your twisted lies
Just keep playing on my head?

[Chorus]
That's what I thought
That's what I thought
Way back when
(That’s what I thought way back when)
Way back when
(Way back when)

That's what I thought
That's what I thought
Way back when
(That's what I thought way back when)
Way back when
(Way back when)

[Hook]
(That's what I thought)
That's what I
(That's what I thought way back when)
That's what I
(That's what I thought way back when)
That's what I thought way way way back when
(Way back when)
Way back when

(That's what I thought)
That's what I
(That's what I thought way back when)
That's what I thought way way way way way back when
(That's what I thought way back when)
(Way back when)

That's what I thought
That's what I thought
Way back when
(That's what I thought way back when)
(Way back when)

[Outro]
Way way way way back in the day
When we used to be cool
Then you started thinking
You could treat me like a fool
Like
Ay, why you always serving up them lies
Like a game of tennis
But when the ball is coming
You just hide

So don't be calling me one day
Telling me that you wanna ride
Cause you dawned on me like a sunrise
But filled my heart with no light
And if you call my number
I'll be on a long haul flight
With my brothers somewhere far away
That you cannot reside, ay
