(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.
