[Chorus]
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Is your heart just preconditioned for brevity?
I don't mean to accuse you of refusing longevity
But I cannot excuse you for abusing my empathy
My empathy
[Pre-Chorus]
I can take rejection
But you gave the impression
That this was the inception
Of something real
[Chorus]
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
How you could look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
When you knew it was a lie, I was headed for Kentucky
When you called to say goodbye, how did I not see it coming?
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm the one to blame, have a tendency
For always ignoring my brain when it says to me
That someone's been manipulating my empathy
My empathy, mm
[Pre-Chorus]
I can take rejection
But you gave the impression
That this was the inception
Of something real
[Chorus]
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
How you could look me in the eye and tell me that you love me
When you knew it was a lie, I was headed for Kentucky
When you called to say goodbye, how did I not see it coming?
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
[Chorus]
The way you felt in my arms, our chemistry was sacred
Oh, I fell for your charm, I was so infatuated
But you left me in the dark and my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The Way You Felt was written by Justin Lucas & RØMANS & Sir Nolan & Lenno & Alec Benjamin.
Alec Benjamin released The Way You Felt on Fri Apr 30 2021.
This song was originally an unreleased demo, originally teased in a tweet by Alec Benjamin on July 16th, 2020; however, he deleted the snippet soon after for unknown reasons:
‘The Way You Felt’ was written in the darker part of my COVID experience. It was a period when we were experiencing a lot of physical isolation. I was just thinking about what it was like to be close to somebody and missing that.
