Michelle Branch - This Way Lyrics
I don't know how long it's been going on
I don't know how long colors were changing to gray
It's kinda funny that I act this way
I don't know how long you've been holding on
It's getting easier to take the blame
It's getting easier to try and change
Too many times I have told you
That I was okay
But I'm finally feeling like I can explain myself
I'm not claiming that I know everything
No I'm not
Because you made me this way
I'm tired of making up reasons you're not on my side
And I would never talk to her that way
No I would never talk to her that way
Too many times I have told you
That I was okay
But I'm finally feeling like I can explain myself
I'm not claiming that I know everything
No I'm not
Because you made me this way
Too many times I have told you
That I was okay
But I'm finally feeling like I can explain myself
I'm not claiming that I know everything
No I'm not
Too many times I have told you
That I was okay
But I'm finally feeling like I can explain myself
I'm not claiming that I know everything
No I'm not
Because you made me this way
You made me this way
I don't know how long it's been going on

Michelle Branch This Way Comments
Steel guitar cutting down the lines
I've lose my life I've lose my career I've lose my chances & also lost many souvenirs but nothing hurts ever more if I compare that to losing you for sure "
Sweet 00' ❤❤
I love the aesthetics. I keep on coming back.
PS: Keep walking. I mean, write more songs. 🤘😬
Fan From Manila I’m hoping for another album soon. I love Hopeless Romantic but I need more music from Michelle!
@SenorTwoPhones hope for the best in 2020 for Branch and the crew.
Awesome I just re-discovered her recently and she's just amazing.
BLACK 66 Check out West Coast Time and Hopeless Romantic if you haven’t heard them yet.
@SenorTwoPhones thanks for the tip. I bought Hopeless Romantic album a month ago, probably my favourite!
Same here I did the same.
https://youtu.be/993qjDf8Qw8
Check out This is Me- Camp Rock it's an insane song though. It's Demi Lovato portraying herself as Michelle Branch (Spirit Room era) for a Disney movie. When You listen to this song you seem to notice lots of Branch references in the lyrics though. Yes this song made me rediscover Branch for the second time.
The first time I heard of Michelle Branch was when All You Wanted, Are You Happy Now and Game of Love were then being played a lot on radio and VH1 back from 2001-2005.
@Cabalen Entertainment yes the first time I heard of Michelle Branch was when I was a teen back from 2001-2005. It's crazy how two decades flew by though.
One of the best songs I've ever heard 💛
What is this eargasm I'm having!
I love you Michelle!
❤❤ I Love the video
❤❤ I love the lyrics
❤❤ I love Michelle Branch
New songs ft Hilary duff
2019 and still listening to this!
Soy muy afortunado de ser contemporáneo de éste poema de mujer,talento y belleza de sobra...
Excellent song ☺,👍 video of lovely Michelle😉
I need This Way, For Dear Life and Spark on iTunes so much 😢. Love these songs, is there a way I can get them? Would listen on repeat ❤️
This Way is on iTunes! It's in compilation albums for some reason
StreetsAhead120 THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I remember looking for her newer songs on iTunes, must have accidentally skipped it somehow. But still I wish the rest were there as well, Spark, For dear life, Pretty lying eyes, Not gonna follow you home (one of my favourites)
Savi’s Channel Unfortunately, Warner Bros has the rights to those songs and unless they want to release them, they won’t be
@Roxanne She gave away Spark 8 years ago for free
She's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
She's ridiculously attractive still to this day
Hi baby...how are you now...
Are you happy now?
OK but this song is a bop!
Still hate Warner so much for shelved that album AND west coast time. this is beyond disrespectful with michelle and us, the fans, it demage her career so much
Luckily, there are pieces of West Coast Time on YouTube
Few people know that this song is about the relationship with her fans rather than with a partner. When Hotel Paper was released, Michelle and her label at the time, Maverick, had high expectations for the album. Are You Happy Now did great, but the follow up single Breathe didn't jump the bar and things did not go in the way everyone hoped for. Michelle had a rough time with how critics in the media received her sophomore album (even though, I'm sure for some of her fans it's one of their all time favorite albums, as I am one of them) and being away from family and friends while touring took a toll on her. She had a baby and this news wasn't well recevied by her label. For her third album she wanted to take a different direction about her music and didn't want to make it alone, she wanted to start The Wreckers and her label wasn't a bit excited about it. All the opposite, they fought her over this new project because it was going to alienate her fanbase. After 3 years of long battles with her label, shutting down her own message board, Maverick being eaten by Warner and trying to find a place in there (because only few wanted to bet on a pop-rock star going country) Stand Still, Look Pretty came out and it was a success. Things were looking bright again but then Jessica wanted to pursue a solo career. So her come back to being a solo artist began and the release of a new album didn't come without another battle. Michelle relationship with music wasn't the same after realizing things were more about the business and less about the music. This kind of artist block, besides the record company crisis didn't help her situation either. Everything she proposed to her new label was rejected. Song after song, they wanted her to try a new sound, not one that she was pleased with, but one that could sell a lot of albums, as that's what they were desperately needing. From time to time, fans were being promised that new music was coming out the next month, next season, next year. After so many broken promises some fans were furious at her because this supposed new music was never coming out, the same thing that happened before Stand Still, Look Pretty was repeating once more. One of those attempts of a single was This Way. Making music for her wasn't the same, being blamed for not putting music out was something she had to constantly apologize. The "No I would never talk to her that way" is about a girl that claimed that Michelle called her a bitch and asked her to leave at a concert. And this is the magic of Michelle Branch, who not only sings beautifully but can also write a very relatable song.
Now im enlightened. This Song is for fans.
This song has a special meaning. Thanks for the explanation. She's a wonderful artist and she seems so sweet. It's hard to believe she would outright call someone a bitch
What's crazy about this song "This way" was I remember reading an article that Michelle Branch was dragged into a label dispute during the time Madonna was suing Warner Music over the contracts of the Maverick talent which included Alanis Morresette, Michelle Branch (solo) and the Wreckers (Branch was doing songs for them) at the time of the lawsuit. This dispute back in the mid-2000's was then the largest recording label contract dispute at the time prior to the Swift/Big Machine Dispute though.

@Cabalen Entertainment 🤔
How much time do you have on your hands
Wow... Where was I???? Great song that is underrated..
This song sounds good. could it be mainstream ?. yes she could be, she has talent and I am surprised that she has not made mainstream.
Michelle Branch was mainstream from 2001-2005 but the Maverick Records/Warner Music dispute ruined her career though.
Always loved MB.

Yellow Brick Road ROFL best comment ever!!!

I've hear her song for more than ten years, and they are still my favour songs all the time.
It's kinda funny that I act this way..

Love it....more please
I love this song.
la mejor voz que jamas haya escuchado en mi vida!!! además de sus letras. ella es hermosa .... i love her!!! #1fan
Love this song and I absolutely love the mandolin edge! Just beautiful, why can't music like this be the mainstream?
+HaRoLd JoRdAn it used to be great.
Bri A she was pretty popular for a moment a few years ago unfortunate the industry doesn't appreciate originality and a genuine artist such as her.
I think there's something special about the fact that it's not in the mainstream... Don't get me wrong Michelle definitely deserves to be but her music is so much better.
@The Blue Bat I am amazed that Branches unreleased albums songs are better than her released ones though.
@Trev Mac yea it is pathetic. I bet people know Chanel west coast more than Michelle branch
...Back in early 2000's, my classmates and I were into Black Metal, even Death, Thrash and all the other subgenres.....but we also fell in love with Michelle...and bought a CD of "Spirit Room"......Good Ol' Days.....
💘the Spirit Room😀
Back in the early 2000's I was into Rob Thomas, Matchbox 20, Train and Coldplay were my kind of music but somehow I got drawn into Branch songs with Hotel Paper though and remember her songs on VH1 at the time.
@Carol Kambing dude i love you someone likes coldplay finally
I miss her. I really hope she makes a comeback soon. I really love her sound and post Wreckers especially it has a country rock feel to it.
Billy Bob Thorton the time has come
She made an album 2 years ago called Hopeless Romantic. Also, she had a kid recently
I'd dread doing a video like this. Let's not forget, every time a continuous shot is goofed up, you have to re-shoot that take from the beginning to maintain visual continuity. So you have walk continuously again and again every time something has to be recorded over again. At the end of this video shot, Michelle must've been like, "Ugh. No more walking music videos again. Ever."
love you and your music so much!! hope you made a great comeback someday
My childhood sweetheart
want more Michelle Branch music!!
i love her
Amazing Michelle.
brilliant song as always!!!!!
Thank you so much Michelle for your music! It truly heals my soul. I have such respect for you and your talent and your courage to be yourself. You and your work are beautiful.
My all time favorite!!! Love all the music :)
My all time favorite!!! Love all the music :)
does she have a new album?
not that we know of
Nice as all way's keep it real, sound great!
Why didn't this song get more recognition???!! It is so awesome!!! Plus this is one of the best videos ever produced!!!
Michelle Branch was dragged into the Maverick/Warner Dispute. This is why her songs are forgotten now though. Michelle Branch was forced into the largest recording label dispute (prior to the Big Machine/Swift dispute) due to her recording and concert contract being held by Maverick and Warner at the same time back from 2001-2005.
Michelle Branch was not able to come forward at the time of the dispute due to the fact that she had to wait for both Warner and Maverick to resolve the dispute.
Don't think I have ever heard this song before. I love it!
i love u michelle branch!!!
I love her too!!! :)
I'm a huge fan & Love the song--awful video though. I could have made this with my phone's recorder... Low budget?
I love the video. The simplicity and artistic style is amazing.
If I comment on each song I'll wear out my keyboard so I'll just do one. The songs are great, every one. The videos are amazing. You're amazing!!! A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You look and sound beautiful. Welcome back!!!
Hi Michelle...come see us at the Cain's Ballroom Tulsa...Soon!
After all these years, the same beautiful voice!
I'm from Brazil and I love u so much!!! Please, come to Brazil to show!!! Kisses in your heart!!!!
One of my fav songs of all time!
