| Laying down on the edge of my bed
|
| Coming down with a sickness in my head
|
| Always looking for a new validation
|
| And I’m not the only one
|
| Filling my body with some empty affection
|
| Oh-oh, oh-oh
|
| Every time playing a role so that no one
|
| Will ever see my soul
|
| Don’t let 'em come cause they can’t hurt what they don’t know
|
| No, oh
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| Just say you’ll never leave me lonely
|
| And promise that you’ll follow me for all of time
|
| Paint a portrait so appealing
|
| You’ll never know I’m dying on the inside
|
| I’ve become a master of disguises
|
| Smiling through the darkest times
|
| When did everything become so heartless?
|
| Mmm, mmm
|
| So what’s it gonna take to cure this sickness?
|
| Or is it gonna take my life?
|
| Never really getting past the surface
|
| Oh, why?
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| I’ve been at odds with myself
|
| 'Cause lately nobody’s keeping it real
|
| And what’s good for my mental health
|
| 'Cause I’ve finally stopped the whole facade
|
| I need you to save me from myself (save me, save me)
|
| I need you to save me from myself
|
| I need you to save me from myself
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| I hate to admit it, that’s just how it is
|
| That’s just how it is
|
| Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
