The Way Life Is

It's just the way life is
The way life is
It's just the way life is

We were just a couple of kids
Stuck together with each other like we couldn't be missed
Us and the clique, we lived just a jump and a skip
And henceforth, the story begins
I swore that our friends were more than we thought
Forming the parts of a family of soul in the heart
In tandem we could own it all, make the world fold in our palms
Never planned we'd start growing apart
It's been so long since the minutes we would laugh together
Running as a pack 'till the path would feather
Looking back on the past, how it went so fast
Funny how you think the little things will last forever
I guess forever came fast, we were wrong
Found good things never last long
The end of it all, you don't know what you have 'till that's gone
And then you let it pass on
It's just the way life is

So long, so long
So long, oh no no
So long, so long
So long, oh no no no

We were just a couple of kids
Playing lover tryna uncover what love even is
We discovered it was more than a kiss
Or the utterance of untouchable words that form in our lips
And as we sorted it out, there was growing a distance
That we sort of allowed, getting more than indifferent
And the words turned sordid and twisted
And found the hands we once held took the form of a fist
And so we break up, filled with them doubts and fears
And the memories that feel like a thousand years
I can't shake 'em, still dream about you near
But I wake up without you there
I really wish I could bury the old but know I gotta carry the load, yeah
Maybe things could've been different but we'll never know
We can only move on with the show
It's just the way life is

So long, so long
So long, oh no no
So long, so long
So long, oh no no no

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, oh no no
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on
Oh, let go
