The Way It Is

Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts raining It's just the way it is Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly Looking for another way but you can't help passing by It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild It's just the way it is Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know In a no-win fight, I guess two wrongs don't make a right We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been It's just the way it is
