that's just how it goes

(album: oh, how perfect - 2019)

This part is tricky
When we know the spark is gone
But we're scared of moving on (yeah)

And it gets harder
When the deed is finally done
And I see you having fun (oh yeah)

If I'm honest
I enjoyed it while it lasted
But I'll get past it (oh yeah)

This ain't the first time
We both notice when it shows
We know how the story goes

You'll sleep with friends of mine
I'll sleep with people I don't like
And I'll always wanna call
But you won't wanna waste your time

I'll see you in the street
And you'll try not to look at me
And I'll miss how it used to be
(I know)

Cause that's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes

And I don't want to
Have to wonder where you are
If you're at my favorite bar

You shouldn't have to
Miss a party 'cause I'm there
But I think we're well aware
This is always how it goes

You'll sleep with friends of mine
I'll sleep with people I don't like
And I'll always wanna call
But you won't wanna waste your time

I'll see you in the street
And you'll try not to look at me
And I'll miss how it used to be
(I know)

Cause that's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes

And every flame has the same sad ending (yeah)
And every spark's gotta die

Every flame has the same sad ending (yeah)
I stopped asking why

'Cause that's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
