If I'm wrong
No one's ever loved at all
And I'm sorry
That's just the way it is
The shattering of glass
The shouting of a lover
Both come to pass
When true love is over
What breaks love but the breaking point?
What changes it but the changes?
If I'm wrong you still aren't right
If it came to light
Well that's just the way it is
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
Nothing's permanent to me
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
That's how it goes
I wanted us to lay
Out our confessions
But everything you say
Sound like conditions
Nothing can face the tempest
We can't take the wind
When gales grow omniscient
We fall to where we can't win
That's just the way it is
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
Nothing's permanent to me
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
That's how it goes
Completely inconsistent
Consistently incomplete
My dear, where did you go
When you left and said no, no, no
Did you take the bus today?
Did the driver spit in your face?
Did you see the world as it is?
Did you like the touch that it gives?
Would you settle for perfect?
Would you settle?
Did you see the world as it is?
Did you like the touch that it gives?
Would you settle for perfect?
Would you settle?
Just the way it is
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
Nothing's permanent to me
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
That's how it goes
Just the way it is
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
Nothing's ever perfect
Just the way it had to be
That's just the way it is
And that's how
It goes
