It's Not Gonna Be This Way
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.
This is not the first
It's not the first time that I've been here before
You would never know
It goes
(In the one)
And out the other
(It's all the same)
It's all nonsense
You don't
(You don't)
Have to say a word
You want me to be the best man
That I could ever want to be
Well it's not gonna work out for me
Like it did for you
No
You've got a lot to say
But I've got more to say to you
I want you to know
It's just a little too late
But you've done it before
You just can't let it go
That you're not the one to tell me
That I better do it different
Because I may be wrong
You don't
(You don't)
Have to say a word
You want me to be the best man
That I could ever want to be
Well it's not gonna work out for me
Like it did for you
Oh no
'Cause you've got a lot to say
But I've got more to say to you
(I don't)
(I don't)
I don't care for any word that you have to say
'Cause it does not apply to me
Or any way that needs you the most
And you just keep coming in
Like you know what you're doing
Well, guess what?
You don't
Yeah!
