The Way Things Really Are Lyrics

There was a time when I believed in everything you said to me
But now I guess it′s best to see
The way things really are
This broken heart, some photographs
A canceled check, a couple laughs
It somehow seemed much more, but that's
The way things really are

I thought you said
Love goes on and on and on
And I thought you loved me too
Didn′t you?

We had a love but lost our way
I guess there isn't much to say
And I can see in light of day
The way things really are

I guess you found what you're looking for
I guess I found someone too
But it was you

So if you wanna let me go
Just have a heart and tell me so
And I won′t call you anymore
If that′s the way things really are
