The Way It Has To Be

Now it’s over
I’m just sitting around
I try to touch you
I get pushed to the ground

I don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do
Everything I think
I think about you

I watch from a distance
Watch your every move
I don’t know what happened
I don’t know how to prove

I see you each day
I think it’s just the same
The same as yesterday
Now I’m drifting from you – in pain

Is it ever?
Ever going to be the same
The way it used to be
Will I ever be happy again?

As a new day dawns
So does this reality
And I can’t stand it
You treat me with such brutality

I don’t wanna face it
I can’t be here without you
I can’t take it
I’m nothing without you

Now I know the truth
And I have to deal with it
Even though I don’t want to
I have to face it

I’ll miss you each day
As if you disappeared
I’ll watch you fade away
Even though my memories reappear

I don’t wanna move on
Even though I know I should
I don’t wanna move on
Even though I know I could

I know the truth now
I see the reality
I understand it
This is the way it has to be
