Love Goes On

We were 15
You sat right next to me, we shared a textbook on chemistry
You were my first, so it's no surprise that you got the best of me
But what's perspective? Everyone's reckless when they're just 15

I never thought that we'd be 17
And you got your hands on me, begging me to give you a reason to stay
Yeah, I was so naive, watching while you turn to leave
Didn't think a heart could heal after it breaks

But love goes on, pages turn
Ends to songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on
Love goes on

I had my doubts
I was hard to get to when I first met you that night in Old Town
I was defensive, but you were relentless in breaking my guard down
You asked me, who broke it? Stole some emotion
Well, I'd have to recount

I never thought that I'd bring 17 all the way to you and me
Thinking history repeats and you never stay
You said you're so naive, thinking I could ever leave
Don't you know a heart can heal after it breaks?

And love goes on, pages turn
Ends to songs, lessons learned
Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on
Love goes on

Yeah-yeah
When it's here, and then it's gone, yeah-yeah
And you think you've lost the one, yeah-yeah
Oh, when all is said and done, yeah-yeah-yeah

Love goes on, pages turn
Ends to songs, lessons I learned
Sometimes it's here, then it's gone
But that's okay, love goes on

Love goes on, pages turn
Ends to songs, lessons I learned
Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone
But that's okay, yeah, love goes on

Love goes on
Love goes on
Love goes on
