This is how life is

Nobody tells the truth
Nobody sticks to the plan
You climb until you can't climb anymore
That's where you intended to land

All friends are fair weathered
So move to a place where it doesn't snow
And the lovers that speak of forever
Are usually the first ones to go

And this is how life is
Nothing's perfect, nothing's crystal clear
And this as how life goes
You plan and you recover and you persevere
You keep the bad days from taking over
Do your best now by your brother
If a heart turns dark find another somehow somewhere
This is how life is and your life is here

Everything needs questioning
Everything needs to be discovered
You can cry away almost anything
If you can just find another lover

All friends are fair weathered
So move to a place where it doesn't snow
And the lovers that speak of forever
Are usually the first ones to go

And this is how life is
Nothing's perfect, nothing's crystal clear
And this as how life goes
You plan and you recover and you persevere
You keep the bad days from taking over
Do your best now by your brother
If a heart turns dark find another somehow somewhere
This is how life is and your life is here

Don't burn the bridges down
Don't burn the bridges down

Bring it back, back to the place that you started from
I wanna be a good man
I wanna be remembered for the love

And this is how life is
Nothing's perfect, nothing's crystal clear
And this as how life goes
You plan and you recover and you persevere
You keep the bad days from taking over
Do your best now by your brother
If a heart turns dark find another somehow somewhere
This is how life is and your life is here

Don't burn the bridges down
Don't burn the bridges down
