Mama, I fell in love with a criminal Point-blank range stole my heart in Union Square Mama, you told me love was a miracle So why do I keep feeling like nobody cares? It's the only thing I know Fighting through the cold to find ya Looking for your light The shadows always hide the truth Lighting up the coals Hope you see the smoke of my fire In a world filled of ghosts I can only see the soul in you I've been trying find my way in the city I don't even know myself anymore But if I'm sure of one thing, I need you with me Even if half the time we're at war But that's just the way it goes That's just the way it goes Either way it goes Father told me one day by the river You'll find glory and hurt within the flow There's a pain here but it don't last forever Gotta let it tear away your heart so it can grow It's the only thing I know Fighting through the cold to find ya Looking for your light The shadows always hide the truth Lighting up the coals Hope you see the smoke of my fire In a world filled of ghosts I can only see the soul in you I've been trying find my way in the city I don't even know myself anymore But if I'm sure of one thing, I need you with me Even if half the time we're at war But that's just the way it goes That's just the way it goes Either way it goes
