That's How It Was

When was the moment you finally knew
It wasn't me that was for you
Did you want only to walk out the door
Feel you couldn't care less or care more

Cause that's how it was for me
That's how it was for me

Did you feel lonely as part of a crowd
Trapped in thoughts you couldn't say out loud
Did every step that you take seem like a mile
Was there comfort for you in denial

Cause that's how it was for me
That's how it was for me

Was it clear you were losing the will and desire, resigned to be on your own
The pressure of choosing the warmth of a lie, or the cold of the truth alone

Cause that's how it was for me
That's how it was for me
That's how it was for me
That's how it was for me

What were you thinking for real at the end
Did you feel you had lost your best friend
When the lights had gone out and we faded to black
Was there part of you that wanted me back

Cause that's how it was for me
That's how it was for me
That's how it was for me
