The Way I Was Lyrics

I've been here in this place
I've been stuck in this place
Like a ghost that's been missing it's life
Silent words in my mouth
Yeah,they wanna scream out
And I'll leave my old shadow behind
In my heart and out of my mind

Oh.woah,
I'll go but I won't go quietly
Go down,but go down fighting
Don't know where, don't know why
But I can't go back,back to the way I was
Oh-woah Oh-woah,oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah,oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah
No I can't go back,back to way I was

I'm the leaf, I'm a seed
That's been waiting for spring
I'm a girl reinventing herself
We might fall,we might rise
We are all butterflies
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf
Finding out the truth for ourselves

Oh-woah,
I'll go,but I won't go quietly
Go down,but I'll go down fighting
Don't know where, don't know why
But I can't go back,back to the way I was (x2)
I'll show who I am from the inside
Gonna take my walk on the wild side
Don't know where, don't know why
But I can't go back,back to the way
I was
Oh-woah Oh-woah oh
Oh-woah Oh woah oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah
No I can't go back, back to the way I was

Come On Closer

I've been here in this place
I've been stuck in this place
Like a ghost that's been missing it's life 
Silent words in my mouth
Yeah,they wanna scream out
And I'll leave my old shadow behind
In my heart and out of my mind

Oh.woah,
I'll  go but I won't go quietly 
Go down,but go down fighting 
Don't know where, don't know why
But I can't go back,back to the way I was
Oh-woah Oh-woah,oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah,oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah
No I can't go back,back to way I was

I'm the leaf, I'm a seed
That's been waiting for spring 
I'm a girl reinventing herself
We might fall,we might rise
We are all butterflies 
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf
Finding out the truth for ourselves

Oh-woah,
I'll go,but I won't go quietly 
Go down,but I'll go down fighting 
Don't know where, don't know why
But I can't go back,back to the way I was (x2)
I'll show who I am from the inside 
Gonna take my walk on the wild side
Don't know where, don't know why 
But I can't go back,back to the way 
I was
Oh-woah Oh-woah oh
Oh-woah Oh woah oh
Oh-woah Oh-woah
No I can't go back, back to the way I was

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
