Lyrics

It Just Is

Today's the day I realized That I could be loved It echoed through the park last night He wasn't our son He belonged to everyone And this loss isn't good enough For sorrow or inspiration It's such a loss for the good guys Afraid of this life That it just is 'Cause everybody dies And this loss isn't good enough For sorrow or inspiration It's such a loss for the good guys Afraid of this life That it just is Everybody And this loss isn't good enough For sorrow or inspiration It's such a loss for the good guys Afraid of this life That it just is 'Cause everybody dies
