Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when I came to the realization that there was nothing I could do to get THAT girl back.
Song Description
This song deeply gets into the pessimistic misery somebody goes through when they look in the mirror baggy-eyed and tired, realizing that the person who made them the happiest is never going to come back. The worst part about it, is realizing there is nothing you can do about it. It's just the way it is.

Lyrics
If you take pride in honesty
Then now you need it most
You can't surrender, to thinking it's just a break
She was settled in her tears tonight
Rehearsed the hallmark words
"You're just too perfect baby, I'm the big mistake"
But even still, you have your doubts
To keep on trying or spit her out
Come on boy, she's gone
And I guess that's just the way it is
That's just how it goes around
Not a warning when the pain begins
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
So you stuff your mind into cardboard boxes
And hide em in the shed
But the crease is still on your pillowcase where she used to rest her head
And it burns like acid through your veins
When you picture someone else kissing her forehead in the rain just like you did
So take in, and wait it out
Until she blends into the crowd
But it's done when it's done
The fairy tale is over
The fire has gone to gray
And now your love will live inside a picture frame
