The Way It Is

I'm so sorry when I told ya
Those smokestacks were making clouds for the sky
But if I told you the truth
It would just bring so many tears
So many tears to your eyes

I said it, that's the way it is
The way it's gonna be
If that's the way it is
I'd rather make believe

Remember sitting on that beach
Watching all that lightning fill up the sky
Well, you got so scared
Until I told ya it was just fireworks
Like the Fourth of July

I said it, that's the way it is
And the way it's gonna be
You know, that's the way it is
I'd rather make believe

I know one day you'll be old enough
To know my stories I told are not true
But when you have your own children
And they ask ya questions
You'll know, you'll know just what to do

You'll say it, that's the way it is
And the way it's gonna be
You'll say, "That's the way it is"
You'd rather make believe

I'll say, "That's the way it is
And the way it's gonna be"
You know, that's the way it is
I'd rather make believe

If that's the way it is
And the way it's gonna be
I'll say, "That's the way it is"
I'd rather make believe

If that's the way it is
The way it's gonna be
If that's the way it is
I'd rather make believe
