How It Goes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gotta go to work so we're not left wanting Better off here than an LA apartment And I know I'm not poor but I'm so exhausted Is this just how it goes? Paying three grand so the porch don't cave in Guess I'll never make that doctor visit And I know I got enough but I'm anxious living Is this just how it goes? [Chorus] And I know we gotta pay for the life we're living A dollar every day so the world keeps spinning Doing what it takes is the price we're given But I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing [Verse 2] Gotta pay the bills so we got warm water Thought it just appeared when I was just a daughter Now I'm learning all the ways that a life will cost ya It's just how it goes Today I saw a number that I couldn't fathom The country has a debt of like a hundred trillion And I think of all the trees that we kill to pay it Like it's just how it goes [Chorus] And I know we gotta pay for the life we're living A dollar every day so the world keeps spinning Doing what it takes is the price we're given But I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing And I know we gotta pay for the life we're living A dollar every day so the world keeps spinning Doing what it takes is the price we're given And I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing No, I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing
