Berikut ini lirik lagu “the way we were” dari Kimbra:
[Verse 1]
Is this the way we fall out of love?
Is this the way we say it's?enough?
No?drama, no exit?plan
No thrown hands up in the?air
No arrival at the end
[Verse 2]
Is this the time you try tell the truth?
You say it's me, I say it's not about you
No color, no exodus
No harm and no accidents
No taking back what I said
[Chorus]
The end never comes like you thought it would
I've been trying to hold tight to something good
Is it the point of no return?
'Cause I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
Outta sight, outta mind, it's outta my hands
Did I run outta time to tell you I care?
I had a vision, somewhere it took a turn
Now I miss th? way we were
I miss th? way we were
[Post-Chorus]
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
I miss the way we were
[Verse 3]
Is this the taste you leave on my tongue?
After everything is said and left undone
No touch, no hand in mine
These days I just can't decide
If you were ever really mine
[Verse 4]
This is the place you held me and said
Girl count the ways I love you and remember I did
Two star-crossed lonely fools
Killing late nights at the swimming pools
Time went from so kind to so cruel
