"The Way It Goes" lyrics

I've taken my chances, this fate in my head
With all this romancing on weeks without end
But I just can't find a way, another way out of this tent
Cause my timing was off again

My timing was off, surefire miss from the start
You never noticed my big heart
My timing was true, true to me but not for you
Now, I'm still driving this lonely road called "The way it goes."
And that's the way it goes

A dreamer once told me, "You cannot rewind."
Mistakes leave you lonely, you gotta leave them behind
I just can't find a way, another way out of this fight
Cause my words were too soft again

My words were too soft, wouldn't fire straight from the start
You never noticed my big heart
My words were so true, true to me but not for you
Now, I'm still driving this lonely road called "The way it goes."
And that's the way it goes

So, where I'm leading, oh, I've been here before
I can't stop repeating the critical points
Cause I always find a way, another way to forget what I've stored
And my faith gets lost again

My faith got lost, seeing empty from the start
Cause you never noticed my big heart
My faith was so true, true to me but not about you
Now I'm still driving this lonely road
Cause my timing was off
And my words were too soft
And my faith got lost again
Now, I'm still driving this lonely road called "The way it goes."
And that's the way it goes
