You fall for someone for some reason
And you share a bit of life and you love them
And you want them to sit down and stay awhile
What's more, you take a liking to them
And they sweeten up your days
You start to fancy that it's best this way
Ah darn it, now I loved ‘em but it's not all up to me
If it's not right, then it's not right to worry
Cause life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye
So it's time now to get on
I can see now that they're gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on
I've got stories to remind me and I probably won't forget
And I miss them and I trust that there are better things ahead
Cause, though I have loved some good ones
I know I've just begun to get a handle on how to love
So it's time now to get on
I can see now that they're gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on
Life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye
(Life has a way of shaking up, I love them and I lose them, I miss them
And I say goodbye)
(It's time to get on, they're good, now they're gone)
