[Verse 1]
I used to do an impression of you
In the days when I was dark
I used to love the thought of loving you
In the day I feed the spark
But sometimes a kiss can mean nothing
Wish I could mean one with you
[Chorus]
And that's the way that it goes
Well I hope it goes your way soon (ooh)
[Verse 2]
Well, I drink to forgive and I drink to forget
I got given what for
When the old flame returns all the new love, it burns
Collect your ashes by the door
But love is not the opposite of feeling alone
Someone I'm on, man, it takes two
[Chorus]
And that's the way that it goes
Well I hope that it goes soon
[Verse 3]
Well, the past is the past but when love don't last
That seems to last a long time
Oh, heartbreak is breaking all the hearts that you find
Broken hearts don't need love, they need time (ooh)
[Bridge]
I used to do an impression of you
Now I just want to impress me
It takes evil to show someone
What it means to be good
And the world is a coin spinning around and around
Yeah, head or tails I will make do
[Outro]
And that's the way that it goes
That's the way that it goes
That's the way that it goes
Let it go, let it go, let her go
