The Way That I Have Loved You - Matt Jennings

Everything's cool, yeah It's all gonna be okay, yeah And I know maybe I'll even laugh about it someday But not today, no 'Cause I don't feel so good I'm tangled up inside My heart is on my sleeve Tomorrow is a mystery to me And it might be wonderful It might be magical It might be everything I've waited for A miracle Oh, but even if I fall in love again with someone new It could never be the way I loved you Letting you go is Making me feel so cold, yeah And I've been trying to make believe it doesn't hurt But that makes it worse, yeah See, I'm a wreck inside My tongue is tied, and my whole body feels so weak The future may be all I really need And it might be wonderful, yeah It might be magical (oh, oh) It might be everything I've waited for A miracle Oh, but even if I fall in love again with someone new It could never be the way I loved you Like a first love My one and only true love Wasn't it was written all over my face? Yeah I loved you like you loved me (oh) Like something pure and holy Like something that can never be replaced And it was wonderful, he was magical He was everything I've waited for A miracle And if I should ever fall in love again With someone new, oh It could never be the way No, it will never be the way I loved you

He is sensible and so incredible And all my single friends are jealous He says everything I need to hear, and it's like I couldn't ask for anything better He opens up my door and I get into his car And he says, "You look beautiful tonight" And I feel perfectly fine But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He respects my space And never makes me wait And he calls exactly when he says he will He's close to my mother Talks business with my father He's charming and endearing And I'm comfortable But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And It's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name You're so in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you He can't see the smile I'm faking And my heart's not breaking 'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all And you were wild and crazy Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated Got away by some mistake and now I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain It's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name I'm so in love that I acted insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you Whoa-whoa-oh-oh, oh And that's the way I loved you Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you

How many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart Don't put on their mask, don't wear their disguise Don't let them dim the light that shines in your eyes If only you could love yourself the way, that I love you How many times can I say You don't have to change a thing Don't let the tide wash you away And don't let worry ever clip your wings Discard what is fake and keep what is real Pursue what you love, embrace how you feel If only you could love yourself the way, that I love you And if you ever choose a road that leads nowhere All alone and you can't see right from wrong And if you ever lose yourself out there Come on home and I'll sing you this song So how many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart

How many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart Don't put on their mask, don't wear their disguise Don't let them dim the light that shines in your eyes If only you could love yourself the way that I love you How many times can I say You don't have to change a thing Don't let the tide wash you away Don't let worry ever clip your wings Discard what is fake, keep what is real Pursue what you love, embrace how you feel If only you could love yourself the way that I love you And if you ever choose a road that leads nowhere All alone and you can't see right from wrong And if you ever lose yourself out there Come on home and I'll sing you this song So how many times can I tell you You're lovely just the way you are Don't let the world come and change you Don't let life break your heart

He's the deflated balloon Wrapped round your gate Cut price to clear and past His sell by date He'll be the fool Running through the church yard Screaming out It's not too late And when he does I know that you'll wait He's the drunk man With bad breath coming on too strong But he's the beauty queen That strings your heart along And he'll answer Every question In your new age magazine wrong But I know you love him strong So I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you He's the elephant In the room that never speaks But you dream about him Every two weeks And I wouldn't know his name But you call it in your sleep Oh, I know You love him deep So run back to him Like you should I guess I always knew That you would For he's captured your heart In a way I never could So go on And love him good Oh, I'm leaving For there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew You're the book I can't stop reading I'm the stray cat You've been feeding But the tides They are receding now It's true Please don't go Misreading me I'm not saying You've been misleading me Just not needing me The way that I need you Just not needing me The way that I need you
