(Verse 1)

You say you're leaving; that it's alright
You say you're careful, but not tonight
You say you're helpless beneath these words
So when did I just change into one of your concerns?

(Chorus)

Because I'm the one you met way back when, way back when
And I'm the one you met way back when, way back when

(Verse 2)

You say you're anxious, but you have to go
You say you're honest if it suits the show
You say you're helpless beneath these hands
So when did I just change into someone you can stand?

(Chorus)

Because I'm the one you met way back when, way back when
And I'm the one you met way back when, way back when
Way back when we were friends

(Instrumental Break)

(Chorus Three Times)
Because I'm the one you met way back when, way back when
And I'm the one you met way back when, way back when
Way back when we were friends
