The Way We Were

You can have him cause he is poison
And yes i loved you but that was a long time ago
And i've been waiting for my moment
Always lining all my ducks up in a row

See i've been hurt too and i will hurt again
And yes i loved you but you put me in my place
And now you're smiling or at least there's something
For me to wipe off your beautiful face

See my pain is extra-complicated
It's not just some general malaise
And my dreams have been obliterated
In a hundred different ways

You can have him because he loved you
We'll meet up later at the end of it all
And how i've waited for that moment
To see you crumble to see you crushed to see you crawl

And yes i killed him and he deserved it
But you know it hurt me to put him in his place
And now you're smiling or at least there's something
For me to wipe off your beautiful face

Don't you remember when we were standing on the edge
Oh for those carefree bittersweet long-ago wonderful days
Oh for the calm before
Oh for the eye of the storm
Oh for the way we were
