The Way It Is Lyrics

She was still sleeping; the problem will stay
One more day
Said she's not sorry the wind blows her way
Accidents happen, there's one planned today
Oh you see...

I wish it was not true
But that's the way it is
It's not your fault
That's the way it is
I'm sick of you
And that's the way it is
And will always be.

Wednesday is over, it's over again.
Said my goodbyes to the life we won't spend
Together...

I wish it was not true
But that's the way it is
It's not your fault
That's the way it is
I'm sick of you
And that's the way it is

But that's not your problem
That's not a problem
That's not my problem
That's not your problem.

his girlfriend is a frustrating bitch and he is sick of her. she's ignoring this whole problem. the fact that he's sick of her and he doesn't want her anymore.

It's about breaking up and going your separate ways but he's not happy about it. He's just accepting it because he doesn't have a choice and fighting it will only push her away faster. So to cut out all the waiting and ups and downs he's just going to push her away first.

There should be more responses here!

Great song with a strong 80's feel to it.

i think this song means that the guy wants to break up with his girlfriend but he doesnt want it to be a sad situation. I think this line "But that's not your problem That's not a problem That's not my problem That's not your problem." means that theres nothing they could do to make it work, they just werent meant for eachother, and that its better to be apart and be happy than together and unhappy. but thats just my interpretation:)

Am I the only one who thinks this song might be about an abortion? She's pregnant, while she's sleeping the "problem will stay" and then the abortion is scheduled, so maybe that's the accident that's planned today. Saying goodbye to the life we won't spend together could be realizing they're never gonna get married and have a family and all of that. The chorus about him saying he wishes it wasn't true could be that he doesn't want her to get an abortion, but that's just how it's gonna happen. And then the abortion happens and it's neither of their problems. I guess this could be reading too much into it, but as soon as I heard the "accidents happen" line I started thinking about this.
