It's just the way it is How did I find myself to be so pitiful and vulnerable And I lay my head upon an empty heartbeat I'm alone and I'm miserable It's just the way that it is and it’s hopeless now I'll never leave the prison inside my head No one will ever understand the way it feels To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you Is that your voice that I hear Is that the touch that I had once feared Is that the way that you look now Is this what we are Cynical ole me, beckoning for company An illusion that I dream of in a nightmare What do I care if you're here and there's nothing left Inside of your hollow shell I'm still alone, I'm still miserable Is there hope somewhere in this case of flesh we call our home I don't feel it Mother, father please go back to sleep I can't bare to see you barely alive We're all alone, we're all miserable Forget my voice Forget my eyes My heart is content now to betray my insides It's just the way that it is and it’s hopeless now I'll never leave the prison inside my head No one will ever understand the way it feels To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you
