My heart can't bear to figure out
What hurt is all about
And all this stupid pain that you put me through

I wish you wouldn't blow this chance
To stop this ignorance
And just let me in

Your world to start anew

But that's the way it is, oh yeah

That's the way it is

Push and shove, kick and rub --

The things we do for love
It's like a war with it's
Pointless casualties

And when you think you're near the end,
It just begins again
And the life you hope to start one day

Just flies away

But that's the way it is, oh yeah

That's the way it is

Instrumental


Oh, now that's the way it is, oh yeah
That's the way it is.
