The Way I Was

Maroon 5 · The B-Side Collection [2007]

Making love to a picture frame one more time tonight

You can tell by the lines in her smile something is not right

Where are you hiding (hiding) ?

She's on the outside, I'm on the inside crying (crying)

Just another crazy boy hungry for your



Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a

Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I

Feel the never need to go back to

The way I was, the way I was



I tried and tried and tried and tried

But I have no concept of consequence

And I'm a master of self defence

Days get longer, life gets shorter, she rips me like no other

So oh, dripping from head to toe

Where are you hiding (hiding) ?

She's on the outside, I'm on the inside crying (crying)



Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a

Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I

Feel the never need to go back to

The way I was, the way I was

Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a

Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I

Feel the never need to go back to

The way I was, the way I was



I can't make the same mistake

If you lose my love, it was yours to take

Break down your door, take a little more

When I need you around

And I'm so terrified of leaving

It's a new low, try and pick me up again but

Let go see how far I get without you

Desperately need more of your



Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a

Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I

Feel the never need to go back to

The way I was, the way I was

Hot love, wrap yourself around me like a

Warm glove, the emptiness leaves me and I

Feel the never need to go back to

The way I was, the way I was.
