The Way I Was lyrics
by Rihanna
[Verse 1]
Making love to a picture frame
One more time tonight
You can tell by the lines in her smile
Something is not right
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you hiding? (Hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (Crying)
Just another crazy boy
Hungry for your
[Chorus]
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
Never need to go back to the way I was
The way I was
[Verse 2]
I tried and tried and tried and tried
But I have no concept of consequence
And I'm a master of self defense
Days get longer
Life gets shorter
She rips me like no other
So oh dripping from head to toe
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you hiding? (Hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (Crying)
[Chorus]
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
Never need to go back to the way I was
The way I was
The way I was
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
Never need to go back to the way I was
The way I was
[Verse 3]
I can't make the same mistake
If you lose my love
It was yours to take
Break down your door
Take a little more
When I need you around
And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick me up again, but
Let go see how far I get without you
Desperately need more of your
[Chorus]
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
Never need to go back to the way I was
The way I was
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
Never need to go back to the way I was
The way I was
