The Way We Used To Be

I won't speak
I don't wanna say too much
Don't wanna say the wrong thing
Don't want you against me
I want you on my side

Ever since that fight
We have been so much better
Now that I know what you think
Or I know what you thought
I'm not sure now
Cause you're falling back to ignoring me

And to think
Less than a year ago
We were texting all night
Making up inside jokes
By the second
And we fought over
Nick Jonas
And you always won
That's the way we used to be

Now We hardly ever speak
And for the most part
It's awkward
You said she took over
My life
You said you wanted
Her gone
You didn't care what
I did
Well I did

Ever since that fight
We have been so much better
Now that I know what you think
Or I know what you thought
I'm not sure now
Cause you're falling back to ignoring me

And to think
Just last summer
We could talk
Onn the phone for hours
You told me all your
Crazy adventures
And we read each others'
Stories obsessively
Well I did
When we were on the phone
And we counted the minutes
Till I could post
Yellow Roses
That's the way we used to be

And I miss that
We have it good now
Well sort of
You haven't been speaking to me
And I know it's because of her
But you sure as hell
Better be okay with that
Because you put me in that position
Just so you know

Ever since that fight
We have been so much better
Now that I know what you think
Or I know what you thought
I'm not sure now
Cause you're falling back to ignoring me

Just think...
Last summer, less than a year ago
We could talk on the phone
Or text for hours
We would make up inside jokes
And fight over Nick Jonas
And you always won
That's the way we used to be
On the phone counting the minutes
Till I could post
Yellow Roses
And supporting each other
Just because
Oh that's the way we used to be
The Way We Used To Be
