The Way It Was and the Way It Is Now

It's a timely warning, when you're picking at your skin It's a telling sign, when you're lighting up again Now I don't wish you trouble, and I'm always kind Stay wealthy in your wonder, take time out of your mind If you tell how me how it was, I will tell you what it is now Don't talk about the way it was Cause all to me, is the way it is now That's all there is There's a sense of do, and it follows me around I get so used to it, that it feels like a friend Now all my misdemeanors, and my shameful ways Ain't nothing in the scheme of it, no matter what you say If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now Don't talk about the way it was Cause all there is, is the way it is now All there is, is the way it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how I was, I will tell you how it is now If you tell me how it was, I will tell you how it is now Don't talk about the way it was Cause all there is, is the way it is now
