Lyrics

THE ONLY WAY

by Joi Veer

One day you froze in the mirror,
And what you saw couldn't be clearer.
Somebody living in a strange place.
Some other person wearing your face.

Somehow it all fit together.
Somehow it felt like forever.
Somehow it seemed worth forsaking,
And now you can't go on faking.

There's no avoiding that the life you have made
Was never worth believing in.
You've let you're chances end before they begin
Till that's THE ONLY WAY you know.

Somehow you lost your direction.
Somehow fell short of perfection.
You've been afraid for a long while.
You have been searching for your own style.

And in the end there's no redemption.
And without fail, you're no exception.
So, you start over, and you're out of the gate.
But what you find you've been missing, wasn't worth the wait.

Before too long, you may not know where you are,
But you will know it's not a dream.
And once again, you'll wind up caught in between
Till that's THE ONLY WAY you know.
THE ONLY WAY you know.

No it's not THE ONLY WAY.
No it's not THE ONLY WAY.
It's just THE ONLY WAY you know.
Yeah, THE ONLY WAY you know.
Like it or not, it's all you've got.

No one can change you're indifference.
No one can stop your resistance.
No one can help you find your way out.
No one can put words in your mouth.

And in the end you may not get what you want,
But you will get what you deserve.
Life has a funny way of throwing a curve,
Till that's THE ONLY WAY you know.
THE ONLY WAY you know.

THE ONLY WAY you know.
Yeah, THE ONLY WAY you know.
THE ONLY WAY you know.
