The Way It Is (live)

The way I'm feeling now I don't know how I will survive Like this, but that's the way it is It's not what you want it's what you've got You can't hang on to love, best admit That's the way it is, It's the way it is, not the way it could be The way it was, or the way it should be The things you miss, your lover's kiss A voice you never could resist You hear it echo in the mist saying, that's the way it is Oh, the feelings gone, so what went wrong Don't search for reason why 'Cause that's that That's just where it's at Like it or not, it's what is what and there's no turning back Get this, that's just the way it is It's the way it is not the way it could be, The way it is was or the way it should be The things you miss your lover's kiss a voice you never could resist You hear it echo in the mist, saying that's the way it is Soaking up the rain to wash away the pain Can somebody explain why it's driving me insane I'm soaking up the sun for I'm not the only one That's been burned by love, Oh, the days are long and the nights are young You must come to terms Don't be afraid cause that's the state of play You can only have what you can have so give up on the ghost That once was, there maybe no 'because' Just the way it is not the way it could The way it was, or the way it should be The things you miss, your lover's kiss, a voice you never could resist Punching air with your clenched fist will not change this 'Cause that's the way it is, Get this, that's just the way it is
