The way I'm feeling now I don't know how I will survive
|
Like this, but that's the way it is
|
It's not what you want it's what you've got
|
You can't hang on to love, best admit
|
That's the way it is,
|
It's the way it is, not the way it could be
|
The way it was, or the way it should be
|
The things you miss, your lover's kiss
|
A voice you never could resist
|
You hear it echo in the mist saying, that's the way it is
|
Oh, the feelings gone, so what went wrong
|
Don't search for reason why
|
'Cause that's that
|
That's just where it's at
|
Like it or not, it's what is what and there's no turning back
|
Get this, that's just the way it is
|
It's the way it is not the way it could be,
|
The way it is was or the way it should be
|
The things you miss your lover's kiss a voice you never could resist
|
You hear it echo in the mist, saying that's the way it is
|
Soaking up the rain to wash away the pain
|
Can somebody explain why it's driving me insane
|
I'm soaking up the sun for I'm not the only one
|
That's been burned by love,
|
Oh, the days are long and the nights are young
|
You must come to terms
|
Don't be afraid cause that's the state of play
|
You can only have what you can have so give up on the ghost
|
That once was, there maybe no 'because'
|
Just the way it is not the way it could
|
The way it was, or the way it should be
|
The things you miss, your lover's kiss, a voice you never could resist
|
Punching air with your clenched fist will not change this
|
'Cause that's the way it is,
|
Get this, that's just the way it is
|

The Way It Is
