The Way That You Were
We are not young enough to know
How to sit and say nothing like we would
And you are too tired to control
How you look like you feel, like you should
And when you think I don't notice
The way that you were
And act like you don't feel it
The way that you were
And you barely believe it
The way that you were
And I am so ready (You will never be the same)
To tear that knife from what once (No, never, oh)
Would have been dead fingers (You will never be the same)
Lying blue against the floor (No, never, oh)
And you will no longer (You will never be the same)
Stand between collapsing walls (No, never, oh)
Wearing a smile (Oh, oh, no, oh, oh)
Like you can't bear it anymore
Come on, tear off the bandage
The way that you were
And with pain as your language
The way that you were
Will you show me the damage?
The way that you were
No, oh
Well, how much did they hurt you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
And how much did they break you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
And how far did they take you? (You will never be the same)
The way that you were (No, never, oh)
(You will never be the same) No
(I know it now)
You will never be the same
No, never, oh
You will never be the same
No, never, oh
You will never be the same
No, never, oh
Oh, oh, no, oh, oh
La forma en que eras
No somos lo suficientemente jóvenes para saber
Cómo sentarnos y no decir nada como solíamos
Y estás demasiado cansado para controlar
Cómo te ves como te sientes, como deberías
Y cuando crees que no me doy cuenta
La forma en que eras
Y actúas como si no lo sintieras
La forma en que eras
Y apenas lo crees
La forma en que eras
Y estoy tan listo (Nunca serás igual)
Para arrancar ese cuchillo de lo que una vez (No, nunca, oh)
Habrían sido dedos muertos (Nunca serás igual)
Tendidos azules contra el piso (No, nunca, oh)
Y ya no estarás (Nunca serás igual)
De pie entre paredes que se derrumban (No, nunca, oh)
Luciendo una sonrisa (Oh, oh, no, oh, oh)
Como si ya no pudieras soportarlo más
Vamos, arranca la venda
La forma en que eras
Y con el dolor como tu lenguaje
La forma en que eras
¿Me mostrarás el daño?
La forma en que eras
No, oh
Bueno, ¿cuánto te lastimaron? (Nunca serás igual)
La forma en que eras (No, nunca, oh)
Y ¿cuánto te quebraron? (Nunca serás igual)
La forma en que eras (No, nunca, oh)
Y ¿hasta dónde te llevaron? (Nunca serás igual)
La forma en que eras (No, nunca, oh)
(Nunca serás igual) No
(Lo sé ahora)
Nunca serás igual
No, nunca, oh
Nunca serás igual
No, nunca, oh
Nunca serás igual
No, nunca, oh
Oh, oh, no, oh, oh
