It Has To Be This Way (Lyrics)

A flame was planted deep inside my hand It must have been some time ago Cause for as long as I remember, it's grown and grown Well, I have practiced with finesse And I have sharpened my technique Now here I sit with this git-tube, learn anything with ease You should have listened to what was said Before all this came to an end Your stubborn ears I do forgive So long Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive At least you've already got what you're missing... I've got some bad news for some of you Your will is not strength; it's the weakest of things And without purpose we're dead Without prayer we're nothing It's just a tad late for some of you As you frantically hum while watching us sing Well, a kid's locked in your heart (You've got the key) We were given purpose when we were born If only we had learned The meaning of the word So long Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive At least you've already got what you're missing... At least you've already got what you're missing... (You had a chance to be saved, but you threw it away) x4 Now that a lot is gone, you're left with nothing I've been ???, at least you're trying At least ???, you are trembling After all, I... I've grown sick Of a willingness to pretend So I'll burn with conviction Every day So long Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive Some of you had to stay alive At least you've already got what you're missing...
