My heart can't bear to figure out   What hurt is all about   And all this stupid pain that you put me through   I wish you wouldn't blow this chance   To stop this ignorance   And just let me in   Your world to start anew      But that's the way it is, oh yeah   That's the way it is      Push and shove, kick and rub --   The things we do for love   It's like a war with it's   Pointless casualties   And when you think you're near the end,   It just begins again   And the life you hope to start one day   Just flies away      But that's the way it is, oh yeah   That's the way it is      Instrumental      Oh, now that's the way it is, oh yeah   That's the way it is.
