That's Life

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Life, what is life

well, I guess that depends

On who you are

What matters to you

What drives you

and what scares you

Friends, family, and lovers

Secrets, betrayal, and heartache

All seem to come hand and hand

Pain is a thing that lessons over time

And as the pages of life fly by

We learn wrong from right

And how to say goodbye

But sometimes

we can't tell wrong from right

And our hearts

hang on long after goodbye

But that's life

Life's the one that got away

The words you never got to say

And the choices you make

We look back now and wonder how

Our lives turned out

So different

than what we dreamed about

When we're suppose to be smart

We take the leap and fall hard

When we're suppose to listen to our hearts

we get scared and fall apart

And that's why we are where we are

Our hearts wear a lifetime of scars

Most of them self-inflicted

Most we're still regretting

And we hate life for changing

what we want to stay the same

And keeping the same

what we want to change

But you wanna know something else about life ?

Only life flying by can ease heartache

Only lifes lil qua-winky-dinks

Can give the chance to say what you never got to say

And ONLY IN LIFE can we love

in the ways

that keep us going everyday
