lyrics

the way it was

we talk, but we say nothing
love's lost, and there's no trusting
it all just keeps on rusting
and you can't go back
you can't go back
you can't go back to the way it was
who sees a heart that's broken?
our gifts are only tokens
we swallow words unspoken

and we can't go back
we can't go back
we can't go back to the way it was

maybe at another time... maybe at another time...
maybe at another time we'll be fine

the lesson i have learned
when love turns to betrayal
all the bridges that you built can burn

till you can't go back
you can't go back
you can't go back to the way it was

i tell you, i'm not mad
and it finally feels less bad
but every now and then i still get sad
that we can't go back
we can't go back
we can't go back to the way it was
maybe at another time... maybe at another time
maybe at another time we'll be fine

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
