That's The Way It Is Lyrics

He smiled at her

In an instant her problems disappeared

She can leave her day behind

Sleep at night with just him on her mind

The smell of wood

And leather soaked in rain

You've been overlooked I bet

By his car with a smoking cigarette

And when there's no one there to listen she sings to herself a song of Pepsi Coke and rum

The flawless melody of self made misery

Drowning in your own damn thoughts

Darling don't you know that shit ain't good for you, you better stop before it hits

He's still there and you're still here

And that's the way it is

Her drawer is full

Of poems just for him

Birds got nothing on you dear

You're afloat beyond the atmosphere

Your fingers crossed

A single touch is due

Now his eyes are locked on you

Tell him now there's no pressing redo

And when there's no one there to listen she sings to herself a song of Pepsi Coke and rum

The flawless melody of self made misery

Drowning in your own damn thoughts

Darling don't you know that shit ain't good for you, you better stop before it hits

He's still there and you're still here

And that's the way

It was a promise sweet as BC frosting, lighting up the room

Lies can't harm if they stay secret

And it's so convenient

But you couldn't have missed that
