The Way It Is

Good times were burning so strong and so bright Where other love was pale But we know The good times they come and they go 'Cause life’s no fairytale So if you wake one morning And your heart starts questioning You gotta hold on and don’t let go And if it all comes falling Tell me can you build it back up again Can you promise me baby We don’t talk any more We don’t dance in the dark You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world We don’t walk in the rain You don’t call out my name You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is That’s the way it is No lies, no secrets I hide from your eyes The way it’s meant to be 'Cause in time In time we all lose this disguise And beauty fades away, ooh yeah 'Cause when you wake one morning And I’m not the way that I used to be You gotta hold on and don’t let go And if it all comes falling Tell me can you build it back up again Can you promise me baby We don’t talk any more We don’t dance in the dark You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world We don’t walk in the rain You don’t call out my name You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is And like a ship on the ocean (Like a ship on the ocean) Without your love watching over me I’m lost at sea If I needed you Would you rescue me, yeah We don’t talk any more We don’t dance in the dark You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world We don’t walk in the rain You don’t call out my name You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is That’s the way it is
