The Way Things Go

I recognized you by the sweater that you wore
You didn't notice but I was waving slow
In the backseat of your car, you said you'll love me forever
Now you barely know my face
But I guess that's how the way things go
I was swept away by your ocean eyes and smile
And as the waves came crashing around me
Didn't feel like I was drowning
'Cause you kissed me with your oxygen
But my heart sank when I saw you
But I guess that's how the way things go
I haven't seen you in a while
But you looked beautiful like the first time
That I ever saw your eyes
I know the passing of the time
Has changed the both of us and I'm standing
But I guess that's how the way things go
Do you still sing the songs we used to sing?
Though you sing badly
I was chokehold by your love
And the moment that we danced, I felt fireworks on your lips
But now all I have is silence
But I guess that's how the way things go
I haven't seen you in a while
But you looked beautiful like the last time
That I ever saw your eyes
I know the passing of the time
Has changed the both of us and I'm standing
But I guess that's how the way things go
I guess that's how the way things go

'Cause I miss you like I'm grieving
As you walk in front of me
As our memories flood the streets
And as I'm diving from these feelings
As I'm cursing out your name
In my mind, it won't come out
You're the rope I'm tightly holding
But I know I have to let you go
I guess that's how the way things go
I guess that's how the way things go
