The Art of Getting By

When you're young you don't think about How good things have a bad side You spend your time waiting around For the fall not the goodbye When you're naive and so green It makes it hard to believe How life works when you're older Even the best of us get hurt sometimes Could be from life or love or "I don't know why" It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand Don't blame yourself and don't ask why That's the art of getting by That's the art of getting by It gets easy to become blind to The good things when times are rough But when there's nothing left to try and do It's okay to throw your hands up 'Cause there's no use in getting burned From the same lessons that you learned So carry them with you and be wiser Even the best of us get hurt sometimes Could be from life or love or "I don't know why" It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand Don't blame yourself and don't ask why That's the art of getting by That's the art of getting by No life ain't a game There's nothing to win, and no way to cheat We all walk through flames All get burned from the heat Even the best of us get hurt sometimes Could be from life or love or "I don't know why" It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand Don't blame yourself and don't ask why That's the art of getting by That's the art of getting by
