Stage of grief: n/a “I wanna be over it the way you are, like we never knew each other’s hearts” {lyrics} Verse 1: I don’t miss you every morning anymore I don’t check my phone the way I did before Most days, I can say your name, And it doesn’t hurt the same I don’t count the days since everything went wrong I can make it through the day and just move on Most days, I sleep just fine, until you cross my mind Chorus: I wanna be over it the way you are, Like we never knew each other’s hearts, Like I don’t still hear your name And feel it all the same I wanna be over it, I really do But some nights, I still leave space for you And I hate that after all this time, I still wish you were mine Verse 2: I can laugh until I almost don’t recall How it felt to lose you in the first place at all Most days I’m doing fine, Til your ghost changes my mind I don’t miss you every second like I did But your memory still knows where I live Some nights, I close my eyes And expect you by my side Chorus: I wanna be over it the way you are, Like we never knew each other’s hearts, Like I don’t still hear your name And feel it all the same I wanna be over it, I really do But some nights, I still leave space for you And I hate that after all this time, I still wish you were mine Bridge: I don’t want you back, I just want the ache to stop I was fine most days, Til your shadow found me And it passes again like it always does, But it still comes back Outro: I wanna be over it the way are, I wanna be over it And I hate that I still wish you were mine I wish you were still mine
Me for the guitar, lyrics, and vocals {info} Run time - 3:25 Key - A major BPM - 129 {note} “The Way You Are” is the 10th track on “grief”, and it’s about the confusing in-between of moving one… when the pain isn’t as constant anymore, but when certain memories bring it back, it hurts just like it did before. I wrote this song wishing that I could let go as easily as my ex seemed to, and ended up realizing that healing can mean doing better some days and then still missing someone who used to mean so much to you. I hope you enjoy “The Way You Are”! <333
