How It's Got To Be

So long, it wasn't good
I think you know that and I'm understood
But I'll remember
This joke of a time with you

Lovely, we meet
For one last time in my misery
It's so familiar
And now that you feel it too

You can see, it's how it got to be
That's life
Free from my reality
Inside

It's harder so don't you be
Sad, sad
Think of the fun that I
Had, had
But when this world has gone
Mad, mad

I'm packing up and moving on
Don't follow, 'cause I'll never going back
I know that fate waits for me
But surely that hell can not be as bad

Oh, well (oh, well), we tried (we tried)
You made me laught and I made you cry
Now don't you miss me
No you're not allowed to care

How can (how can) I last (I last)
Without salvation when time has passed
The guilt the sadness
The brave grin too hard to bear

I gotta get away
I'm finding my escape
Abstraction is a natural
Reaction to the pain

I gotta get away
I'm finding my escape
(From the pain)

You can see, it's how it got to be
That's life
Free from my reality
Inside

It's harder so don't you be
Sad, sad
Think of the fun that I
Had, had
But when this world has gone
Mad, mad

I'm packing up and moving on
Don't follow, 'cause I'll never going back
I know that fate waits for me
But surely that hell can not be as bad
