this is how it is lyrics

Lately there's been a change
Of how I feel about you
What once seemed so sure
Is slipping through my hands
The love we once felt, it seemed so long ago
If we can't hold on, then we've got to let it go..

Chorus
And this is how it is now
No more looking back
Love has finally left us
And it's gone away
No it wasn't meant to stay

We've walked an endless road
Paved with awful lies
We couldn't find the key to open up our eyes
Together, forever wasn't meant to be
If we can't hold on, then we've got to let it go

Chorus

We seem to have it all, but couldn't find the strength no more
To hold on to the dream we've shared
If we can't hold on then we've got to let it go
Will it ever come aroud
No I just don't know

And this is how it is now
No more looking back
Love has finally left us
And it's gone away
And it hurts me more each day
