Oops!!!
Dan and I finished this song well over a month ago, and I'd meant to post it in finished works, didn't realize until now that I hadn't, lol!

The Way It GoesYou drown your sorrows
and hope Tomorrow will forget where you live
Your roommate hates you, your boss replaced you
that's just the way that it is
Whoa, life's not fair
we can't all be stars or millionaires
Whoa, we all just exist
between one heartache and the next...
You spent the evening
watching your ceiling, hoping the sky would fall
you're paralyzed
you've realized: they never loved you, at all...
Whoa, love slips away
then, again, was it ever there?
Whoa, you struggle each day
to find a pocket to hide your prayers...
But that's the way it goes for the ordinary souls
there's no rainbow waiting when we get home
there's no one to miss us, while we're gone
That's the way it'll always be, for everyone like you and me
ohhh, that's the way it goes...
I drown my sorrows,
and hope tomorrow, the blues forget my address
Can't help believing
this rainy season, will be all that I have left
Whoa, time slips away
and my young days are forever behind
Whoa, I struggle each day
to remind myself why I still try...
But that's the way it goes for the ordinary souls
there's no rainbow waiting when we get home
there's no one to miss us, while we're gone
That's the way it'll always be, for everyone like you and me
ohhh, that's the way it goes...
BRIDGE
I know, I know, I know, I know...we all have our down days
but why, oh why, oh why, oh why, do mine last for years?
Who am I to cry? The world is filled with people like me
Then why are they never around when I need them to be
But that's the way it goes for the ordinary souls
there's no rainbow waiting when we get home
there's no one to miss us, while we're gone
That's the way it'll always be, for everyone like you and me
ohhh, that's the way it goes...
