The Way I Was Lyrics - Singles - Audrey Peeples

[ Verse 1] 

​I've been here in this place 

​I've been stuck in this place 

​Like a ghost that's been missing its life 

​Silent words in my mouth 

​Yeah, they want to scream out 

​And I'll leave my old shadow behind 

​In my heart and out of my mind 

​Oh-woah 

​ 

​[Chorus] 

​I'll go, but I won't go quietly 

​Go down, but I'll go down fighting 

​Don't know where, don't know why 

​But i can't go back, back to the way I 

​ was 

​I'll show who I am from the inside 

​Gonna take my walk on the wild side 

​Don't know where, don't know why 

​But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​was 

​ 

​[Refrain] 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah 

​No i can't go back, back to the way I 

​ was 

​ 

​[Verse 2] 

​I'm the leaf, I'm a seed 

​That's been waiting for spring 

​I'm a girl reinventing herself 

​We might fall, we might rise 

​We are all butterflies 

​Breaking free from our jars on the shelf 

​Finding out the truth for ourselves 

​Oh- woah 

​ 

​[Chorus] 

​I'll go, but I won't go quietly 

​Go down, but I'll go down fighting 

​Don't know where, don't know why 

​But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​was 

​I'll show who I am from the inside 

​Gonna take my walk on the wild side 

​Don't know where, don't know why 

​But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​was 

​ 

​[Refrain] 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

​Oh-woah, oh-woah 

​No I can't go back, back to the way I 

​was 

​ 

​[Bridge] 

​I'll go, but I won't go quietly 

​Go down, but I'll go down fighting 

​Could be hurt, could be love 

​But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​ was 

​ 

​[Chorus] 

I'll go, but I won't go quietly 

Go down, but I'll go down fighting 

Don't know where, don't know why 

But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​was 

I'll show who I am from the inside 

Gonna take my walk on the wild side 

Don't know where, don't know why 

But I can't go back, back to the way I 

​ was 

​[Refrain] 

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh 

Oh-woah, oh-woah 

No I can't go back, back to the way I 

was
