SO IT GOES

How do you stop from breaking down?
How do you start from zero ground?

How does it feel to finish last?
How do you heal a broken past?

Why are things we hold so dear, so far away?
Why don't we let our fears subside, just for a day?
And so it goes,
So it goes.

How many days are we to see?
How can we live them being free?

Why have we changed when all we need is in our hearts?
Why did we meet, in love, and now are worlds apart?
And so it goes,
So it goes.

I know it's been a long time
Shut out from the sunshine
Cut off from the lifelines
That keep us alive.

Drifting out to the ocean
Lost in the wreckage
Marooned on our islands
That keep us apart.

And so it goes,
So it goes.
