Lyrics

You said that you would never let them take your pride

You expressed a commitment to preserving your pride.

Tell me what happened when they made you compromise

Explain what transpired when they compelled you to make concessions.

Everything you believed in

All the things you believed in.

And all of the promises they gave were broken before they were even made

The promises made to you were broken before they materialized.

And now they look at you like you’re the one to blame

Now, others blame you for the broken promises.


All you ever wanted was the fortune and the fame

Your aspirations were for wealth and fame.

You tried to sell your soul but they just stole it anyway

You attempted to trade your soul, but it was taken without consent.

And now you’re stuck down in the place where the roads interchange all alone

Now, you find yourself in a desolate place where roads intersect, isolated.

Aint that just the way it goes

This unfortunate situation is just the way life unfolds.


All the people that you held in such high regard

The individuals you highly esteemed.

Tell me what happened when

Explain what occurred when they pushed you beyond limits.

They ended up pushing you too far

They pushed you too far, and you lost your sense of self.

And you lost yourself again

You lost yourself once again.

And it was no surprise when they finally left you high and dry

It was expected that they would eventually abandon you.

Didn’t even bother saying goodbye

They left without even saying goodbye.


All you ever wanted was the fortune and the fame

Your desires were for wealth and fame.

Tried to sell your soul but it was already too late

Efforts to trade your soul were in vain, as it was already too late.

Because it’s stuck down in the place where the roads interchange

Now, you find yourself trapped in a place where roads intersect.

And now you know

Realization sets in.

Aint that just the way it goes

This is simply the way life unfolds.

Ain’t that just the way it goes

Reiteration of life's unpredictability.


All you ever wanted was the fortune and the fame

Your aspirations were for wealth and fame.

You tried to sell your soul but they just stole it anyway

You attempted to trade your soul, but it was taken without consent.

And now you’re stuck down in the place where the roads interchange all alone

Now, you find yourself in a desolate place where roads intersect, isolated.

Aint that just the way it goes

This unfortunate situation is just the way life unfolds.
