I woke up in the morning
Not ready for what was in store
I sensed there might be a problem
'Cause your distance was weighing on me

You told me you weren't happy
I wish I had known before
'Cause I would've been ready
To give you my love and more
To give you my love and more
To give you my love and more

But this is the way it goes
This is the way it goes

I'm sitting on the couch crying
Trying to make some sense
You don't even say goodbye
I guess it was too hard for you

You told me you weren't happy
I wish I had known before
'Cause I would've been ready
To give you my love and more
To give you my love and more
To give you my love and more

But this is the way it goes
This is the way it goes
This is the way it goes
This is the way it goes

I couldn't read your mind in time
I wish you'd opened up and let me in

But this is the way it goes
This is the way it goes
This is the way it goes
This is the way it goes
