People ask me what it’s like
Knowing you
And how I hold myself at night
Watching you
Knowing how I lost myself
Wanting you
And how I always lose myself
Wanting you
The city sky is hanging low, it seems to know
I’m finding comfort where I can with all these ghosts
I just wanna be alone when lights dim low
And I go home, and I go home
Oh my god
Take me back the way that I was
Oh my god
You know I only tried to play your games
So you cannot forget my name
You and I, and I’ve been saying
You always had it easy
Oh my god
Take me back the way that I was
The way that I was
I don’t often use your name, but I’m craving to
And all these strangers look the same, but I look for you
As I’m crawling through the streets, it’s a lonely view
And I feel so blue, I feel so blue
My baby, don’t look for me
When I get lost and on these streets
See myself, but it’s not me
I’m with the crowd, I cannot breathe
My baby’s no good for me
No good for me, no good for me
My baby’s no good for me
And nothing’s ever easy
Oh my god
Take me back the way that I was
Oh my god
You know I’m inside and I’m in between
What you want, I can’t compete
You cross the line and I repeat
You’ve always had it easy
Easy
You make me feel so sleazy
You’ve always had it easy
You make me feel so sleazy
Oh my god
Take me back the way that I was
The way that I was
