The Way We Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why am I thinking of you today?
You should be millions of miles away by now
It's funny how it hurts me this way
It's not the words that you say
But that you believe them
Fucked up as I ever was
Make sure no one sees
Me on my knees
Clinging to my rage just because
It's easier to believe in
More than
These lies and secrets
Hopes and regrets
It's just the way we are
Know I want to believe you
You'll only leave too
Just the way we are
It's just the way we are
Gettin' good at saying goodbye
I feel a little less each time they walk away
Don't even stop to wonder why
It's not the reason that stays
But that it's over
Leaving
More lies and secrets
Hopes and regrets
It's just the way we are
Know I want to believe you
You'll only leave too
Just the way we are
It's just the way we are
What am I reaching for?
You don't love me anymore
So just leave me here
With our lies and secrets
Hopes and regrets
It's just the way we are
Know I want to believe you
You'll only leave too
Just the way we are
Yes, I want to believe you
I know you'll leave too
Just the way we are
It's just the way we are
We are
