The Way We Are

Lene Marlin

I watch you growing sometimes I see myself in you



It can be scary but kinda funny too



I hear you talking



A lot of similarities



Your choice of words



And all the fantasises




Just the way we are



I guess you've seen it now



A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird



Falling down



From a mountain of frights



What's there to hold on to?




The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just



Won't go to sleep



You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still it's not



Really a weep



I know you fooled me



A million times



I just can't help it



Don't know why




Just the way we are



I guess you've seen it now



A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird



Falling down from a mountain of frights



What's there to hold on to?




I know you hate it but they really have to do



What they do



You're crying out your wishes I understand



Yet they don't have a clue.
