The Way It Is Lyrics - 1999

[ Buy The Way It Is ]

In my brain it's understood
You killed my soul like i knew you would
You hit me with your velvet touch
My sacrifice was all too much
Why did you have to walk away
On sacred ground yesterday

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

You took the breath right out of me
And now i find that i can't see
The shallow water is my grave
Now what i lost is what i crave

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

Now i can feel the ghost within
Don't put the curse on me again
Don't leave me in this golden cage
Until i live the final page

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me
