Love passed us by
Before the chance was asked to take
We had to hide behind the vows we couldnt break
More than just friends
But to others we were innocent
We pretend we didnt stop what had to end
Could have been you
But you came around to late
Could have been some good times
We couldnt change the course of fate
Got no remedy
Got no cure
Stop these memories
Cause I cant take no more
We realized too late
Thats the way it goes
A love that couldnt wait
Thats the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
Thats the way it goes
This final twist of fate
Thats the way it goes
Missin you more than ever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
Memories last forever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
Doubts through my mind
Question everything I do
Not satisifed til all I think about is you
Though strapped in tight
But would give soley to me
Not mine until youre here to set them free
Could have been you
But you came around to late
Could have been some good times
We couldnt change the course of fate
Got no remedy
Got no cure
Stop these memories
Cause I cant take no more
I realized too late
Thats the way it goes
A love that couldnt wait
Thats the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
Thats the way it goes
This final twist of fate
Thats the way it goes
Missin you more than ever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
Memories last forever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
We realized too late
Thats the way it goes
A love that couldnt wait
Thats the way it goes
My loss and your mistake
Thats the way it goes
This final twist of fate
Thats the way it goes
Missin you more than ever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
Memories last forever
Thats the way it goes
Thats the way it goes
