Lyrics
That?s The Way It Seems - C. Thomas
3/10/00
Why does feeling bad feel better than feeling alone?
Why does feeling bad feel better than feeling alone?
They say that love will lift you up
It drags you down like a stone
Why does feeling bad feel better than feeling alone?
Why does it seem that being true means lying to yourself?
Why does it seem that being true means lying to yourself?
Well they could love just who you are
If you could just be someone else
Why does it seem that being true means lying to yourself?
Why is the best that you can do
Never quite enough?
Why does getting what you need
Mean giving up too much?
Why does drinking deep from life
Leave you with an empty cup?
Why does it take a broken heart to know just what it means?
Why does it take a broken heart to know just what it means?
First they take away your pain
Then they take away your dreams
And they don?t leave you left with much
That?s the way it seems
That?s the way it seems
That?s the way it seems
That?s the way it seems
