The Way It Was - Jorja Smith

I checked the time

I called you when I shouldn't have, it hurt

Did you have my number saved?

It's probably best you never heard from me

Someone from a lifetime ago

Felt like yesterday

We were sleeping over, chasin' summers

When did you grow up and change?

Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away

Could I even call your name?

Wouldn't know what's left to say

Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would

It will never be the way, the way it was

Don't know if you settled down with him

You might have bought a house and a car with him

Heard you're involved, but I can't be sure of it (Can't be sure)

Did you run or did you walk away from me?

You knew me years ago, just the way you wanted to

You never tried to love me, tried to love me, like I do

I would've given more, given everything to you

You've had enough time to find me in this crowded room

Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away

Could I even call your name?

Wouldn't know what's left to say

Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would

It will never be the way, the way it was

Lookin' down on me, I think your head's up in the clouds

I could always tell you're never happy with yourself

Why you wanna run around and act like someone else?

It's playin' on my mind, and can I tell you somethin' else?

We were never too far away from the edge

I could only try my best till the end

I swear you've got my number if there's anything that you wanna say

Would I even know your face through the crowds? I let you slip away (I let you slip away)

Could I even call your name?

Wouldn't know what's left to say

Even when I called your name a thousand times, just like I said I would

It will never be the way, the way it was

The way it was

The way it was

The way it was

The way it was

The way it was

The way, the way it was
