Various Artists - The Way I Was lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been here in this place I've been stuck in this space 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 bu*terflies 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
