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 phonographs
A cancelled a check

A couple laughs
It somehow seem 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

Did't you?
We had love but lost are we
I guess there isn't much to say
And I can't 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 want to let me go
Just have a heart and tell me so
And I wont call you anymore

If that's
The way things really are
