lyrics

it’s not the way it used to be
but darling you inspired me this time
you were reaching for a feeling
or a reason not to end it on a rhyme

maybe nothing really matters now you're gone
maybe nothing really mattered all along
and that’s where i went wrong

i promised to stay positive
so now i’m optimistic to a fault
i was far too busy listening
to focus on what you’re saying at all
after every conversation i feel different and strange and very small
i say any change is good and it’s a miracle I’m able to all

so it’s not the way it used to be
but darling really this is for the best
and i’ll go back to where i’m from
so you can firmly set the sun down west

you can put your dummy book away
you can’t keep repeating what you say
and that’s why i can’t stay

i’m not the way i ought to be
but i present my own defence
with it all laid out in front of me
it makes a funny kind of almost sort of sense

but god has mighty hands you know
and he has figured out more than we’d planned
i wanted to know everything
but now i hope i never understand
