the way it goes
gary ramsy 2021

here i am again,
on my own,
all alone...
like i've always been...
unwanted and unloved
lost without a doubt
i will never win...
i'm a loser again...
paint for me a picture
with your pretty words,
and pull me in,
then shut me out...
tell me that i'm special,
i can do anything,
except hold love,
i'll do without...
it's a cruel world
full of loneliness,
that never ends,
that never ends...

life is so unkind
playing with my mind,
i thought i'd found
my one and only you...
the second hand unwinds
wish i'd seen the signs,
you were backing out,
as i was coming through...
it's funny how a dream's
not as easy as it seems
kept me holding on,
you were already gone
for all the tears i cried
you felt nothing inside
and you walked away,
nothing left to say....

thats the way it goes
everybody knows
it all goes to show
its easy to let go
thats the way it is
sometims hit and miss
started with a kiss
left me here like this
thats the way it goes
everybody knows
it all goes to show
its easy to let go
thats the way it is
sometims hit and miss
started with a kiss
left me here like this
