Tom MacDonald - The Way lyrics

You really thought I'd make it happen
I really thought this would be different
But it isn't, and I'm guilty and it kills me

I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay?

Uh, I hear them but I don't respond
To indirect bullshit that
Requires any thought
I know the truth is in my heart
And happiness can't be bought so
They're wasting all their time trying to
Figure out the cost of it
When your story's short
But the plots are thick
You end up reading tons of


Books and not recalling shit
The only difference I can see between
Then and now is now
Everything is bad and that is how we got herе
I love the moments right bеfore
You think you too drunk
And everything is perfect and
More just isn't enough
When she smiles cause she
Thinks you kinda cool
Right before the phone rings
And everything is ruined
She looks at me and tells me
That she doesn't know herself today
I say that I'll remind her if
She ever does forget again
She says it's not the same and I agree
That things are different
Like it all looks strange when you
See it through a dimmer light
I guess it's true
The first cut is the deepest of them all
I can see my bones through my clothes
Uh, she'll regret it
That single shit gets played out
Drink until you're brave enough to hook
Up on the way out
And when she does it I'll than
Likely not care cause my
Heart was in it then but now it's not there

Now our mutual acquaintances avoid the topic
I used to have it all and then I lost it

I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?
I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?

Super wasted, super early, blonde girl with
The lip ring wearing Hurley
Drinking Pilsner with her girlfriends
She rolling with
I'm rolling one, they smokin' it
I mention that those trucker hats
Fit perfect with extensions
In and you can barely notice them at all
And I am way too drunk to
Drive or make the call
Someone has to take one for the
Team and take a liquor run
Don't forget the red wine for fancy
Girls who loiter in the
Kitchen and some Pabst Blue Ribbon
For them indie kids
The cigarettes are fillin' up the
Ashtrays and the pathways are
Trashed with empty cans and half
J's I'd probably hit
They probably think I'm having too much fun
I gave reality my number
Told it "stay in touch"
I took a look at the last five missed calls
The same ones that ignored mine when I call
I wonder why the nightfall brings pain
I wonder why it still hurts the next day
I'm relying on the keen intuition
And a clean criminal
Record to get a spot in the hills
I had enough women try to save
Me, nothing will but a deal, ah

Lately I been tryna block it out
I won't let myself forget how hard
We tried to talk it out
Uh, some things aren't meant to be
And some things are meant to be done, one

I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?
I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?

Mm, I can never run for president, no
So I run for the hills
Yeah, and the money not empty, uh
And I'm runnin' up a bill
And I know that it is too late to
Say anything I meant today
When tomorrow comes
Doomsday, read the note when
The bottle comes, yeah
And holler back when it runs out
Uh, Imma feel it in the morning so shout out
To the people who are warning me about it
I heard that life is a beach, well it sure is
And she a single mother tryna make ends meet
Ah, and her dad was a deadbeat
Ah, and she wish she never met me
Ah, it was us against the world
Yeah, and now it's everyone against me

I wish I never met you
Cause I just can't forget you
I can't believe I let you
Fall in love with me i wish I never met you
Cause I just can't forget you
I can't believe I let you
Fall in love with me

I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?
I don't know why I feel so goddamn cold
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know oh oh oh oh
I don't know why I feel so damn strange
Is that okay ay ay ay ay?
Is that the way ay ay ay ay?
