"The Way That You Were" lyrics - SLEEP TOKEN

SLEEP TOKEN
"The Way That You Were"

We are not young enough to know
How to sit and say nothing like we would
And you are too tired to control
How you look like you feel like you should

And when you think I don't notice
The way that you were
And act like you don't feel it
The way that you were
And you barely believe it
The way that you were

And I am so ready (You will never be the same)
To tear that knife from what once (No, never, oh)
Would have been dead fingers (You will never be the same)
Lying blue against the floor (No, never, oh)
And you will no longer (You will never be the same)
Stand between collapsing walls (No, never, oh)
Wearing a smile (Oh, oh, no, oh, oh)
Like you can't bear it anymore

Come on, tear off the bandage
The way that you were
And with pain as your language
The way that you were
Will you show me the damage?
The way that you were
No, oh

Well, how much did they hurt you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
And how much did they break you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
And how far did they take you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
(You will never be the same) No
(I know it now)

You will never be the same
No, never, oh
You will never be the same
No, never, oh
You will never be the same
No, never, oh
Oh, oh, no, oh, oh
