And I know
I'm pushing back the inevitable
Someone always leaves first
That's just the way things go
Oh, I know
I know, I know, I know
That's just the way things go
On the day you forget
To text me back
I won't sit around and cry
No, I won't give a crap
I'll just put my phone on the highest shelf
Somewhere I cannot see
But I'll leave the ringer on
Just in case you remember me
On the day you stop
Asking how I am
I won't care about that at all
No, I won't give a damn
I'll just put shoes on, go out and dance
With all my friends, but see
My phone's in my back pocket
Just in case you remember me
And I know
I'm pushing back the inevitable
Someone always leaves first
That's just the way things go
Oh, I know
I know, I know, I know
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
On the day you stop saying my name
I won't stop saying yours at all
No, I'll just say it all the same
Just because I can't move on
Doesn't mean you can't be free
Free to love anyone else
Like the way you loved me
Woo, 1, 2, 3!
And I know
I'm pushing back the inevitable
Someone always leaves first
That's just the way things go
Oh, I know
I know, I know, I know
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
And I don't want to stay friends
Out of your pity for me
Can we both agree
That's just a shitty thing to do?
To someone who still loves you
And I know
I'm pushing back the inevitable
Someone always leaves first
That's just the way things go
Oh, I know
I know, I know, I know
Hey! Hey! Hey!
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
That's just the way things go
Oh, yeah!
Things go!
Ooh
That's just the way things go
