The Way It Is — текст песни (Simon Townshend)

The way I`m feeling now I don`t know how I will survive
Like this, but that`s the way it is
It`s not what you want it`s what you`ve got
You can`t hang on to love, best admit
That`s the way it is,
It`s the way it is, not the way it could be
The way it was, or the way it should be
The things you miss, your lover`s kiss
A voice you never could resist
You hear it echo in the mist saying, that`s the way it is
Oh, the feelings gone, so what went wrong
Don`t search for reason why
`Cause that`s that
That`s just where it`s at
Like it or not, it`s what is what and there`s no turning back
Get this, that`s just the way it is
It`s the way it is not the way it could be,
The way it is was or the way it should be
The things you miss your lover`s kiss a voice you never could resist
You hear it echo in the mist, saying that`s the way it is
Soaking up the rain to wash away the pain
Can somebody explain why it`s driving me insane
I`m soaking up the sun for I`m not the only one
That`s been burned by love,
Oh, the days are long and the nights are young
You must come to terms
Don`t be afraid cause that`s the state of play
You can only have what you can have so give up on the ghost
That once was, there maybe no `because`
Just the way it is not the way it could
The way it was, or the way it should be
The things you miss, your lover`s kiss, a voice you never could resist
Punching air with your clenched fist will not change this
`Cause that`s the way it is,
Get this, that`s just the way it is
