The Way It Was

I know after today I’ll be ready to leave this place
Will you tell me to stay or will you send me on my way?
With a map and some notes and a line from a song
Such a cruel way to remind me of you while I’m gone

But you had to come down
And you had to go home
I don’t want to talk about it
Well I know i'll feel alone
When you get back home
Will your life be the same?
Will you remember my name?

I’m just a tumbleweed passing through your streets
You can take me in, you can throw me out, you can sweep me off my feet
Because you know you’ll be able to go on living without
How many walls will you build around yourself?

But you had to come down
And you had to go home
I don’t want to think about it
But now you’re gone
And when I get back home
I’ll think of you because
I’ll remember the way it was

I'm moving away from the sunshine to forget about you
I'm moving away from the people I got acquainted to
And when you pulled me in I knew how badly it would end
Maybe its true, but the sun deserves to shine on you
