Your lying ways must come to an end
It's a pointless game pretending we're both happy here
If I thought, you meant things you said
Then why should I keep believing what you've been laying on my plate?

Even if you tried
You can't even hide the way your eyes move when you lie, shifting side to side
Even if you cried
Should the tears be payment for the pain you put me through this whole entire time?

That's what I thought, that's what I thought
Way back when, way back when
That's what I thought, that's what I thought
Way back when, way back when

To think I thought you might be the one
My heart was blinded by the wool you pulled over my eyes

But from the start, I should've trust myself
I thought that I had to stay but that was not my choice, it was your voice in disguise

We got so lost up in a thing we thought was love
But found that it was never important enough to take priority

Even if I'm right
Now I've finally seen the light and now
I've broken the chain that's been bearing on my chest

And even if you smile
Does it make up for all the things you say to me?
Why do your twisted lies just keep playing on my head?

That's what I thought, that's what I thought
Way back when, way back when
That's what I thought, that's what I thought
Way back when, way back when

(That's what I, yeah, that's what I
That's what I thought way way way back when, way back when
That's what I, yeah, that's what I thought way way way way way back when)

That's what I thought, that's what I thought
Way back when
That's what I thought
Way back when, way back when

Way way way way back in the day when we used to be cool
Then you started thinking you could treat me like a fool like
Ay, why you always serving up them lies like a game of tennis but when the ball is Coming you just hide
So don't be calling me one day telling me that you wanna ride
Cos you dawned on me like sunrise but filled my heart with no light
And if you call my number I'll be on a long haul flight with my brothers
somewhere far away that you cannot reside, ay
