The Way It Is

Good times were burning so strong and so bright
Where other love was pale
But we know
The good times they come and they go
'Cause life’s no fairytale

So if you wake one morning
And your heart starts questioning
You gotta hold on and don’t let go
And if it all comes falling
Tell me can you build it back up again
Can you promise me baby

We don’t talk any more
We don’t dance in the dark
You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world
We don’t walk in the rain
You don’t call out my name
You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is
That’s the way it is

No lies, no secrets I hide from your eyes
The way it’s meant to be
'Cause in time
In time we all lose this disguise
And beauty fades away, ooh yeah

'Cause when you wake one morning
And I’m not the way that I used to be
You gotta hold on and don’t let go
And if it all comes falling
Tell me can you build it back up again
Can you promise me baby

We don’t talk any more
We don’t dance in the dark
You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world
We don’t walk in the rain
You don’t call out my name
You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is

And like a ship on the ocean (Like a ship on the ocean)
Without your love watching over me
I’m lost at sea
If I needed you
Would you rescue me, yeah

We don’t talk any more
We don’t dance in the dark
You gotta hold on and don’t let me out of your world
We don’t walk in the rain
You don’t call out my name
You gotta hold on and don’t let me go, that’s the way it is
That’s the way it is
