Way It Was
Nostalgic Reflections: Maya Manuela's 'Way It Was' Unveiled
Lyrics
We went to the city for my 21st birthday, yeah
We celebrated my 21st birthday in the city.
Drank way too much rosé
We drank an excessive amount of rosé.
I got sick outside the subway
I got sick outside the subway.
cnd you just laughed as you held my hair back
You laughed while holding my hair back, reminiscing about a similar incident when we were 18.
Yeah like I did when we were 18 and
Recalling the past when you attended your first real party.
ct your first real party
A memory of a party where a frat boy gave you Bacardi.
Some frat boy gave you bacardi
We walked hand in hand because you were barely able to stand.
We walked holding hands cause you could barely stand
Reflecting on the uncertainty of your current activities.
I don't know what you're doing now
Pondering if you feel a connection or excitement when thinking about the speaker.
But I hope that you're doing well
A acknowledgment of the passage of time without communication.
Do you get chills when you think about me?
Considering if memories elicit strong emotions or nostalgia.
Days go by and we don't talk
Acknowledging the transient nature of friendships.
We're both better off
Stating the significance of the person in the past.
Living our own lives
Questioning the reasons behind deception.
I know friends they come and go
Denying a longing for the person but missing the past experiences.
You meant so much more
Rejecting any hatred towards the person but disliking their current self.
Why did you lie?
Recalling a time when negative comments were made about mutual friends.
I don't miss you I just miss the way it was
Denying intent behind the negative remarks but acknowledging their impact.
I don't hate you I just hate who you've become
Characterizing the speaker's withdrawal due to drama and negative influence.
Started talking shit about girls you were friends with you
Uncertain about the person's current actions.
Swore you never meant it but you
Speculating about potential regret if karma were to impact the person.
Starred in drama like an actress
Reflecting on the consequences of spreading false information.
Threw dirt on my name til I had to walk away
Expressing a desire to know if the person regrets their negative comments about the speaker.
I don't know what you're doing now
Acknowledging the transient nature of friendships.
If karma ever came around
Questioning if the person regrets the harmful statements made about the speaker.
Do you regret what you said about me?
Reflecting on the speaker's betterment by distancing from the negative influence.
Days go by and we don't talk
Denying a longing for the person but missing the past experiences.
We're both better off
Rejecting any hatred towards the person but disliking their current self.
Living our own lives
Recalling a time when negative comments were made about mutual friends.
I know friends they come and go
Denying intent behind the negative remarks but acknowledging their impact.
you meant so much more
Characterizing the speaker's withdrawal due to drama and negative influence.
Why'd you have to lie?
Walking away from the situation after enduring harm to one's reputation.
I don't miss you I just miss the way it was
Uncertain about the person's current actions.
I don't hate you I just hate who you've become
Speculating about potential regret if karma were to impact the person.
