If I wanted to

I could make it awkward to be in this room with

But I wanted you to know that

I got better things

Than to waste my breath on you

If I wanted to

I could take the step to unravel this and ruin you

Spit the words you wrote right back with the same magnitude

But I’m better than you ever knew

You’ve got some damn problem with your attitide

I want things the way they were

Back 2 when it didn’t hurt

Back 2 when I didn’t know about you

Mmm

If I wanted to

I could show my armour prove to you I’m bullet proof

Got the upper hand in this game

What’s your ace to play

Now I’m just your queen of shade

From the bottom of my lungs to the tip of the tongue

My words they cut out

You couldn’t see them as strong

Never felt quite the big comfort in being alone

Now there’s no sickly feeling I guess you were the one that was wrong

I want things the way they were

Back 2 when it didn’t hurt

Back 2 when I didn’t know about you

Mmm

I want things the way they were

Back 2 when it didn’t hurt

Back 2 when I didn’t know about you

Mmm

Can’t read your body signs

See you closin up

You’re thinkin who in time will be better off

Well running it won’t help you

And you’re hiding from the truth

You know I have the proof to put the pressure on you

Can’t read your body signs

See you closin up

You’re thinkin who in time will be better off

Well running it won’t help you

And you’re hiding from the truth

You know I have the proof to put the pressure on you

I want things the way they were

Back 2 when it didn’t hurt

Back 2 when I didn’t know about you

Mmm

I want things the way they were (way they were)

Back 2 when it didn’t hurt (didn’t hurt)

Back 2 when I didn’t know about you

Mmm

(way they were)

(didn’t hurt)

(way they were)

(didn’t hurt)
