Lyrics

The Way it Was B.P.M 136

Looking back now it seemed so easy
Fell in love and well that's the story
Oh I'd rush home from work
To see how your day went
But slowly things began to change
No flowers waiting on the doorstep
Our favourite wine was never drunk
Two empty glasses on the top shelf
Chorus
Then one cold day
On a dark street
Oh we both knew
We're never going back to the way it was
Oh we said things
And we broke hearts
And we crossed lines
We're never going back to the way it was
And you can't un-ring a bell
We're never going back to the way it was
Verse 2
Sometimes stop and think of you baby
Hear our song and I smell that coffee
Takes me back each time
To a café in New York
But if I hear a car door slam
Then my heart jumps cos I remember
The night we argued in the street
With bitter words that did more than hurt
Chorus
Guess we knew then
As the rain fell
Couldn't fix this
We're never going back to the way it was
Now I've moved on
Cos my life's changed
Found a new love
I'm never going back to the way it was
And you can't un-ring a bell
