The Way It Was
Brooke Annibale
This place doesn't feel the same anymore
I can't trace how or why it seems to change
But it seems it's changed
Like an old friend, that i used to know so well
But i've been gone so long
That there's so much we can't tell
You, the skyline and the street signs
Oh, fading away the further i drive
Oh, i can't help but realize
I can never go back to the way it was
I walk the streets that used to hold my life
And everything i see is just a picture in my mind
Of all that's behind me, that haunts, that reminds me
Of the beauty and the pain of what's gone
It's a long road now and there's no turning back
You ought to know that, know that
