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
