The Way I Was (From "Jem And The Holograms" Soundtrack) - Jem and the Holograms/Aubrey Peeples

I've been here in this place

I've been stuck in this space

Like a ghost that's been missing its life

Silent words in my mouth

Yeah they want to scream out

And I'll leave my old shadow behind

In my heart and out of my mind

Oh-woah

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah

No I can't go back back to the way I was

I'm the leaf I'm a seed

That's been waiting for spring

I'm a girl reinventing herself

We might fall we might rise

We are all butterflies

Breaking free from our jars on the shelf

Finding out the truth for ourselves

Oh-woah

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah

No I can't go back back to the way I was

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Could be hurt could be love

But I can't go back back to the way I was

I'll go but I won't go quietly

Go down but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where don't know why

But I can't go back back to the way I was

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah oh

Oh-woah oh-woah

No I can't go back back to the way I was
