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,

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,

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
