The Way It Is

Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black
 Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black
 It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style
 It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts raining
 It's just the way it is
 Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly
 Looking for another way but you can't help passing by
 It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free
 It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild
 It's just the way it is
 Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago
 Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know
 In a no-win fight, I guess two wrongs don't make a right
 We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been
 It's just the way it is
