C'est La Vie

It's a bird
It's a plane
It's my love in the sky
Leaving me once again
It's the cries
It's the pain
That keeps me warm
When things aint the same
I know she writes me
But I won't read
My sisters got a new life
They don't need a brother no more
They don't need my help no more
What can I do to make you stay
I 'm too young to think of something to say
Before I could stop it, it was too late
There goes my life flyin' away
A little man can't fathom the change
I took it and I knew it
It would never be the same
But maybe one day we'd meet again
Yeah we'll meet again

Chorus
And it goes
C'est la vie
It's already happened to me
It's already happened to me
And it goes
C'est la vie
It's already happened to me
It's already happened to me

It's a bird
It's a plane
It's my love in the sky
Leaving me once again
It's the lies
It's the shames
that keeps me so warm
Cause things aint the same
I know she loves me
Why won't she say
My momma's got a new life
She don't need a son no more
Why don't she need my love no more
What can I say to make you stay
What can I do for you to prove
That there was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep you from leaving out of the blue
And into the sky like a shadow of a doubt
It felt like home was prison
You had to get out
So you broke free and found your way
Far away from me
Far away from me

Chorus

I know I could've gone
The emotions were strong
But I couldn't leave pops
Even though he's like a rock
The child in me wanted to stay
But the man was like, come on kids
Let's just call it a day
And the women in my life
That kept my head right
Were on the next flight
I pretended it's alright
None of this was overnight, you see
We kept our love strong
And brought to life a dying family
It's been a fucked up year
But we got eachother
Three beautiful women
And a pops that's like a brother
God I guess has got a big ol' bag of tricks
Cause we broke our backs for years
And now look at us
