not the way it is

1
what’s the cost
of time that’s lost
no one knows
but the feeling shows
it would be fine
if it were springtime
but that’s not the way it is

chorus
oh no
my oh my
tomorrow’s supposed to be
my wedding day
oh yeah
are they gonna cry
i’ll be gone away
oh no
my oh my
tomorrow i’ll be
gone away
oh yeah
they won’t know why
i won’t be married that day

2
indeed it’s true
i love you
but i don’t know
why we can’t go slow
it would be nice
to get hit with rice
but that’s not the way it is

repeat chorus

3
so many times
i make the rhymes
about my life
it’s toil and strife
it’s so insane
i shouldn’t complain
but that’s not the way it is

repeat chorus 3 x - out
