What is this hearts given,
that could so easily fly away?
That's just the way it is,
the way it is today.
One tube of lipstick
away from goodbye,
with no time to wonder,
to wonder why.
Wasn't I good to you?
Didn't I give you my all?
Couldn't you see it too?
I mean after all, after all?
Should have been clear to you,
I think you should have known.
Wasn't I good to you,
so why did you leave me
all alone.
That's just the way it is,
it's just to hard to try.
That's just the way it is,
no need to wonder why.
So this is where we are,
after all you were to me.
And now this is how it is,
though it's not easy to see,
that this is just where we belong,
not in each others arms.
So this is where we are,
the damage has done it's harm.
That's just the way it is,
some things will never change.
Yes, that's the way it is,
but I've had to learned
to live this way.
So I will pay this price,
as high as it might be.
Yes, I will pay this price,
if that's the way it has to be,
and I will write these words,
that will become this song.
Yes, I will write these words,
and I will carry on,
carry on.
