Song Description

life goes on the sooner the better

Lyrics

C'est la vie

Standing in the moon light watchin' those tail-lights fade off onto the mist
I been down this road before
But I never saw a curve like this
Only goes to show you never really Know
'bout livivin' life and lovin' amen
Nowl it's up in smoke did he ever really give a damn

C'est la vie, so it goes
Round and round where it stops nobody knows
Place your bets yeah roll the dice
Don't forget that lightning can strike twice

Picking up the pieces of a broken dream
Dust it off and try it again
Just when you get the foundation laid well don't you know it starts to rain
House of love is like a house of cards
Built right up in the wind
Reinforce the frame and hope it won't fall again

Now anything worth keeping is worth fighting for
At least that's what you'd have me to believe
My heart ain't in it as I hold the door
Pretending it don't hurt me as you leave

C'est la vie, so it goes
Round and round where it stops nobody knows
Place your bets yeah roll the dice
Don't forget that lightning can strike twice
