Story Behind the Song
Everything in my life took a turn for the worst, including losing my girlfriend, and it was time that I turned it around. I think everyone reaches that standstill once in their life.
Lyrics
(Chorus)
This is the way it is, the way that it's gotta be,
When you have to come clean,
What you used to have is now far gone,
You can still live to be #1,
This is the way it is, the way that it's gotta be,
When you have to come clean,
What you used to have is now far gone,
You're never finished 'til you're done.
When the words are flowin' out my head,
I put full meaning into what's said,
'Cause a lot of s--- runs through my mind,
Wonder why my whole life's in a bind, time to rewind,
Think of all the things that happened the past few years,
The pain is constant, brings me to tears,
It should be easier than it sounds,
Just listen to me, while I lay these lyrics down,
You meet the girl of your dreams, it's what love sees,
Now the heartache, and the silent screams,
When you want to understand, she pushes you away,
Within a year, she'll leave you any day,
Travel overseas for someone that listens,
Now I'm sittin' at home, just writing this dissin',
I'm not mad at her, for her I still yearn,
This is how the world turns,
'Cause this is the way it is, the way it's gotta be,
But not the way that it ought to be.
(Chorus)
I always finish what I start,
I'll never give up, until we're never apart,
You shouldn't have to worry too much,
It's gonna take a while, so you better pack a lunch,
Be ready to eat your own words,
'Cause what I say, will echo like reverb,
So, turn down the treble, and up with the bass,
I won't be scared to say this to your face,
There's a lot in this twisted head that's spinnin'
This is a time to start a new beginning,
It's gonna change me, with or without you,
But, I'm ready for any challenge you put me through,
I don't want be hurt ever again,
You probably want someone else instead,
'Cause I caught on to the little game that you play,
My world, will never be the same,
'Cause this is the way it is, the way it's gotta be,
But not the way that it ought to be.
(Chorus 2x)
A lost love is what you represent,
Now my whole life seems to be spent,
Over all the thinkin', the deepest part of my soul speakin',
You don't understand what kind of human being,
Is still in love with you, even though we're through,
In your right mind, this is what you should do,
Stay with me, live your hopes and dreams,
Somewhere down the road, I'll give you the ring,
Make this happy ever after, maybe, never again,
'Cause all the words I say just seem to offend,
As you try to find a life more tame,
You'll realize, that it will never be the same,
It was the risk that you had to take,
Make or break, you can't have the whole cake,
'Cause you never gave me a second chance,
And I was never even thinkin' through my pants,
And I can't believe you did...
'Cause this is the way it is, the way that it's gotta be,
But not the way that it ought to be.
(Chorus 2x)
