[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [?] 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 [Chorus] 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
