K-pop Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story
about a boy and a girl
It's kinda short, kinda boring,
but the end is a whirl
They were just sixteen
when the people were mean
So they didn't love themselves,
and now they're gone
Headstones on a lawn

[Verse 2]
And when I was younger,
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other,
but always wished
they were more
'Cause they loved one another,
but never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of
what they'd say
Moved to different states

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm afraid
that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid
that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work
for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story

[Verse 3]
Now it's on to the sequel
about me and my friend
Both our parents were evil,
so we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved,
we could both run away
And we'd have a better life,
and I was right
I wonder if she's alright

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm afraid
that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid
that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for
you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story
Okay

[Bridge]
And the movie's always
runnin' in my head
All the people, all the lovers,
all my friends
And I hope that they
all get their happy end
In the end

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm afraid that's
just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's
just the way the world works
But I think that it could work
for you and me
Just wait and see
That's not the end of the story,
hmm, hmm
