The Way It Really Is

Lisa Loeb


I kept talking to myself 
I had to get the words out of my head (so I did) 
You barely said a thing
You kind of heard me out and then you said (you said) 

You're crazy, why do you keep doing this? 
Everything is fine 
Then I think I'm crazy, I do this all the time 
Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong 

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion 
Maybe we're just a picture in my head 
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was 
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is 

Sometimes your intentions are totally impossible to read 
What does that mean? 
Sometimes even I have no idea what I need 
I wish I did 

I'm crazy, why do I keep doing this? 
Everything is fine 
Then you think I'm crazy, I do this all the time 
Until I start to think that something's really wrong 

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion 
Maybe we're just a picture in my head 
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was 
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is 

Looking out my window at the big blue sky 
Lazy sun is shining and so I run outside 
To look for you, I look for you 
And then it starts to rain 

Maybe I am.. is that the way it really is? 
Maybe we're just... a picture in my head 
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was 
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is 

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion 
Maybe we're just a picture in my head 
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was 
Maybe I don't wanna see it, the way it really is 

Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion 
Maybe we're just a picture in my head 
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was 
Maybe I don't wanna see it 

Maybe I don't wanna see it 
Maybe I don't wanna see it 
The way it really is (the way it really is) 
The way it really is (the way it really is) 

The way it really is
