Olivia Waithe - Old Ways lyrics

[Verse 1] It was fun playin' with knives Until a blade Stuck in the left side of my chest Surprise I'm not down again, I turned the page The story's mine No more watchin' the world from my doorstep Pa**in' me by (pa**in' me byyy) [Pre-Chorus] And I just keep changin' These colors colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was [Chorus] But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways I'm gonna say no way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways [Post-Chorus] Not goin' back to my old ways (Not goin' back to my old ways) [Verse 2] Now I know what's good for me All that I need And I can't wait to sink my teeth in And take another bite And the best part about it Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin' Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds? [Pre-Chorus] And I just keep changin' These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was [Chorus] But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways I'm gonna say no way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways [Post-Chorus] Not goin' back to my old ways (Not goin' back to my old ways) [Bridge] Every scar The flames burnt them all I'm not afraid to fall I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling I pa** the stars I'm not burning out I'm not afraid to fall I'm not afraid anymore [Breakdown] And I just keep changin' my colors I'm not in the same place that I was, I was And the best part about it Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin' Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds? [Pre-Chorus] And I just keep changin' (Changin') These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place (Same place) That I was, I was, I was, I was [Chorus] But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways (old ways) I'm gonna say no way (no way) I'm out of the doorway ( no way) I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways
