So

It's the guitar that played the song

That wooed the woman

That broke his heart

That made him love her in the first place

That's why he fell apart

But it's the things he had to say

That made him fear that made him fail

That made him wish that he had said them

That he was with her there

so, that's the way things go

Sometimes you realize there's no way to rewind

She's gone and you can't find her

You know, that's the way things go, sometimes

It's the promise that he made

That he would call her that he broke

That left her standing on the balcony

To watch the stars alone

But it's the number that was right

That he wrote wrong

That he called time and time again

That left him wandering with flowers in his hands

so, that's the way things go

Sometimes you realize there's no way to rewind

She's gone and you can't find her

You know, that's the way things go, sometimes

It's the voice he had to follow

He thought belonged to her that she

was singing from a window

that overlooked the sea

but It's the road that he was on

that she was not

that he forgot

that made her think that he had left her

when really he had not

so, that's the way things go

Sometimes you realize there's no way to rewind

She's gone and you can't find her

You know, that's the way things go, sometimes
