People ask me what it's like knowin' you
And how I hold myself at night watchin' you
Knowin' how I lost myself wantin' you
And how I always lose myself wantin' you

The city sky is hangin' low, it seems to know
I'm finding comfort where I can with all these ghosts
I just wanna be alone, lights dim low
And I go home and I go home

Oh, my God, take me back the way that I was
Oh, my God
You know I only tried to play your games
So you cannot forget my name
You and I are not the same, you always had it easy

Oh, my God, take me back the way that I was
The way that I was

I don't often use your name, but I'm cravin' to
I know these strangers look the same, but I look for you
As I'm crawling through these streets just alone with you
And I feel so blue, I feel so blue

My baby don't look for me when I get lost in all these streets
See myself, but it's not me, I'm with the crowd, I cannot breathe
My baby's no good for me, no good for me, no good for me
My baby's no good for me and nothing's ever easy

Oh, my God, take me back the way that I was
Oh, my God
You know I'm inside out beyond between what you want, I can't compete
You crossed the line and I repeat, you always had it easy

Easy, you make me feel so
Sleazy, you always had it
Easy, you make me feel so
Sleazy

Oh, my God, take me back the way that I was
The way that I was
