lyrics

It wasn't the way, you were always there for me
You'd skip half your lessons, if I needed you to listen.
And it wasn't the way, we were too young
for the bars and the clubs, and we'd rather that 3am bakery fun.

It wasn't the way you held my hand,
As if everything was finally going to plan.
And it wasn't the way you kissed my cheek
Before catching your plane and leaving me

It wasn't the way you said goodbye
Holding me close, you looked me straight in the eye
And said "I really love you"

// It was in the way, you couldn't believe
Someone like you, could love someone like me
And it was in the way, that you denied
opening your heart and letting us try

It wasn't the way you said you loved me
And it wasn't the fact that I said it back
It wasn't the way you said I really love you
And it wasn't the way that I said I loved you too //

And it's not the way, that you will not speak to me
Or that everyone's shocked
and do not know what to say to me.

And it's not the way that every time,
I hear someone's heart ache
I break down and cry.

And it wasn't the way you said goodbye
holding me close, you looked me straight in the eye
and said "I really love you"

// It was in the way, you couldn't believe
Someone like you, could love someone like me
And it was in the way, that you denied
Opening your heart and letting us try

It wasn't the way you said you loved me
And it wasn't the fact that I said it back
It wasn't the way you said I really love you
And it wasn't the way that I said I love you too //

I know you once said, you need to get lost
in order to find, the things you can trust
But my greatest mistake was losing myself
Was losing myself, was losing myself
In the dreams that we made

I know I once said, I'll always love you
'till the end, you said
"you're a great friend"

​I like my music slow, my tea lukewarm and the vocal improv everlasting.

In daily life I find things can get overwhelming, Camilla Jones is a gentle attempt to slow down and remember what's important. Through soothing, delicate melodies and honest journal-to-song lyrics I hope to help unwind, unravel, and un-complicate fellow tightly-strung minds. ... more
