The way it was
Forgiveness is the word you crave and you won't stop
Until you hear that everything is alright, everything is ok
And that's the way it should be, but that don't mean
It wipes the slate clean, that everything's forgotten gone,
Things aren't ok
Because anyway you say it, say it,
Anyway you paint it
You can't change the way it was, the way it was
I'm not sure who it's for, I'm not taking higher ground
But moving on is leaving someone else behind
Practise what you preach they say, and that's been done
Ironic ways because those who are those who know,
And they don't need another excuse
Because anyway you say it, say it,
Anyway you paint it
You can't change the way it was, the way it was
You say and you pray with your higher ground
Doesn't make who you are when you're looking down
The way it was, is the way it is,
We are, we love, we live
Because anyway you say it, say it,
Anyway you paint it
You can't change the way it was, the way it was
