I saw the way you cried
I saw it in your eyes
As you sat in your room
He waited all those years before
The light, it blinks no more
But new light shines on through
It's gonna be alright
Life's a ride, just hold on tight
That's just the way things flow
When a star is burning out
I'll still be around
The flame burns close, but
That's the way life goes
Take all the time you need for this
But don't let your demons win
They're just messing with your head
Pain will go along away with time
So try to just forget
And move along instead
Look at the world, open those eyes
The show must go on, but you'll realize
That it's gonna be alright
Life's a ride, just hold on tight
That's just the way things flow
When a star is burning out
I'll still be around
The flame burns close, but
That's the way life goes
