以下是《A Fact of Life》的歌詞：
I'm sorry, it's a fact of life
He's not the man you dreamed he'd be
He's just a man, a flawed one too
And you can't deny the evidence
Chorus:
But you've got to love
And you've got to let it go
And you've got to try and understand
It's a fact of life
He's not the hero in your story
He's just a man, a man like you and me
And he's not the one who's gonna save you
He's just a man, a man like you and me
It might seem like hopeless passion
And your dreams are shattered like glass
But just like diamonds in the rough
Some men were meant to wear them anyway
(Chorus)
Now and again you feel the emptiness
The silent moments of your life with him
And somewhere deep inside you feel betrayed
But life is short and time flies by so fast
(Chorus) - (Repeats once)
So take a deep breath and let it go
And remember, it's just a fact of life
And when you're ready, you'll find a way to smile again
Because it's just a fact of life - yeah yeah yeah yeah!
