The Way It Goes

I've felt this way before
Like I'm following, standing for nothing
I've got to take my life back
I've got to stand for something

Well there's no time
Awaken this generation that's falling asleep
It's always seconds before the dark, (so black outside)
Before the morning sun

In the end, in the end, when the story unfolds
We can say we did our best, our best to change the world

You could say, we told you so, 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, hoping that you were all wrong
We told you so 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, knowing that you were all wrong

I can barely breathe and I could never see
The way you were before, the way you were before
And now it's been so long since I have seen your face
You must've forgotten I'm moving on, moving on

And in the end, in the end, when the story unfolds
We can say we did our best, our best to change the world

You could say, we told you so, 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, hoping that you were all wrong
We told you so 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, knowing that you were all wrong

I've got that feelin' on my fingertips
When I'm waiting to see how long until I slip
Feelin like I'm drifting farther away, thinking about the day
Dreaming about the day, running through the words that I could never say
Feeling all the pressure that it brings, change me
Makes me more than I could ever believe
You see you took that away from me
I told you from the start we should never get in this thing

We told you so
We told you so
We told you so

You could say, we told you so, 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, hoping that you were all wrong
We told you so, 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, knowing that you were all wrong

We told you so 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, hoping that you were all wrong
We told you so 'cause that's the way it goes
Holding onto hope, knowing that you were all wrong
