The Way I Was (Non-LP Version) - Maroon 5

Written by：Adam Levine

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

She's on the outside

I'm on the inside 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

She's on the outside

I'm on the inside 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
