the way that you are lyrics

He gets his information
From overhearing conversations
Doesn't ask questions
Doesn't learn any lessons

And he keeps his mouth shut
'Til he bowls over and he blows up
And then he can't form his words right
They don't fit together so tight

And I hope to God
That He will find his name
And not listen to his so-called friends
When they so boldly say

This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are

She doesn't have much to say
About yesterday
Or what happened to her
When she was eight

So she drinks a lot
And it her makes feel okay
For the moment
But it's gone when she awakes

And I hope you know that
Someone out there loves you
So don't give yourself away
And don't listen to them when they say

This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are
No

This is the way that you are
Don't let them say
This is the way that you are

Don't let them say
This is the way, this is the way
This is the way that you are

Don't let them say
This is the way
This is the way that you are
