This is not the way I thought it would be I thought it would be much lighter This is not the way I thought it would be I thought it would be much brighter [Chorus] I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain Falling I thought it was a fight but it was a game All-in I thought it was once but it was again and again and again My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating I could blame somebody else for my heart For the part that's broken I could blame somebody else for my heart But I kept that spoke in [Chorus] I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain Falling I thought it was a fight but it was a game All-in I thought it was once but it was again and again and again My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating Do not lie down on solid ground Not slink around this time Pa** overhead or pa** under it Let the fire make you the dragon instead Instead This is not the way I thought it would be I thought it would be much lighter This is not the way I thought it would be I thought it would be much brighter [Chorus] I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain Falling I thought it was a fight but it was a game All-in I thought it was once but it was again and again and again My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating
