The Way Life Is

It's just the way life is The way life is It's just the way life is We were just a couple of kids Stuck together with each other like we couldn't be missed Us and the clique, we lived just a jump and a skip And henceforth, the story begins I swore that our friends were more than we thought Forming the parts of a family of soul in the heart In tandem we could own it all, make the world fold in our palms Never planned we'd start growing apart It's been so long since the minutes we would laugh together Running as a pack 'till the path would feather Looking back on the past, how it went so fast Funny how you think the little things will last forever I guess forever came fast, we were wrong Found good things never last long The end of it all, you don't know what you have 'till that's gone And then you let it pass on It's just the way life is So long, so long So long, oh no no So long, so long So long, oh no no no We were just a couple of kids Playing lover tryna uncover what love even is We discovered it was more than a kiss Or the utterance of untouchable words that form in our lips And as we sorted it out, there was growing a distance That we sort of allowed, getting more than indifferent And the words turned sordid and twisted And found the hands we once held took the form of a fist And so we break up, filled with them doubts and fears And the memories that feel like a thousand years I can't shake 'em, still dream about you near But I wake up without you there I really wish I could bury the old but know I gotta carry the load, yeah Maybe things could've been different but we'll never know We can only move on with the show It's just the way life is So long, so long So long, oh no no So long, so long So long, oh no no no Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, oh no no Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on Oh, let go
