Your Way
Arthur Smith & His Cracker-Jacks Lyrics

Lately, you just seem to hate me
Recently, it appears that you have developed strong negative feelings towards me

Looking back it shakes me
Reflecting on the past causes me to tremble with emotion

Everything I had you took
You have taken away everything that belonged to me

I say, that it is okay
I assert that it is acceptable and permissible

To not be on the same page
To have different perspectives, opinions, or desires

But we're in different books
However, we are in completely separate narratives or life paths

You could never see my side
You were incapable of understanding my viewpoint or experiences

You would always try and hide with your tears
You consistently attempted to conceal your emotions behind a facade of tears

'Cuz you could never face your fears
Because you were unable to confront and overcome your own fears

But trust me
However, believe me

I thought I was the only
I once believed that I was the sole person

One who was sad and lonely
Experiencing sadness and isolation

Oh hindsight is so clear
Oh, understanding the past with clarity is now evident

Always had a will
I have always possessed a strong determination and desire

But never had a way to your heart
However, I never had a means to capture your affection or love

I know it's gone too far
I am aware that the situation has progressed beyond a favorable point

For your loving to start
For your love or affection to commence or develop

Oh I've lost my chance
Oh, I have missed my opportunity

At love, warmth and romance
To experience love, affection, and passionate relationships

We've drifted far apart
We have gradually moved away from each other and become distant

You realize, I have feelings inside
You comprehend that I possess emotions within me

Even if they do hide
Even if they are concealed or not openly expressed

You left me feeling hurt
You caused me to experience emotional pain and distress

Just try to see
Simply attempt to perceive or understand

What you really meant to me
The true significance or value that you held in my life

I gave you myself lovingly
I offered you my true self with affection and care

But I guess it didn't work
However, I suppose it was unsuccessful or ineffective

All you ever did was lie
All you consistently did was deceive or provide false information

But you can't say I didn't try to look past
Yet, you cannot deny that I made efforts to overlook or forgive

All the shadows that you cast
All the negative influences or effects you had on me

Maybe, I could've done it differently
Perhaps, I could have approached it in an alternative manner

Spoken a bit more openly
Communicated with a greater degree of honesty and transparency

But that is in the past
However, that is now a bygone or concluded matter

You were like my home
You were comparable to the feeling of comfort and belonging one finds in a home

But now I've lost the key
But now I no longer possess the means to access or enter that sense of security

Have nowhere to go
I have no destination or place of refuge

Got nothing left but me
I am left with only myself, without any other possessions or companionship

And now I'm locked out
And now I am unable to gain entry or be included

Of your heart and mine too
Of both your emotional center and my own

Don't know if you wanted me
I am uncertain if you desired or valued me

But I wanted you
But I deeply yearned for you

Always had a will
I have always possessed a strong determination and desire

But never had a way to your heart
However, I never had a means to capture your affection or love

I know it's gone too far
I am aware that the situation has progressed beyond a favorable point

For your loving to start
For your love or affection to commence or develop

Oh I've lost my chance
Oh, I have missed my opportunity

At love, warmth and romance
To experience love, affection, and passionate relationships

We've drifted far apart
We have gradually moved away from each other and become distant
