"Love Goes On" lyrics

We were fifteen
You sat right next to me
We shared a textbook on chemistry
You were my first
So, it's no surprise
That you got the best of me
But what's perspective
Everyone's reckless
When they're just fifteen

I never thought
That we'd be seventeen
And you got your hands on me
Begging me to give
You a reason to stay
Yeah, I was so naïve
Watching while you turned to leave
Didn't think a heart
Could heal after it breaks

But love goes on
Pages turn
Ends to songs
Lessons learned
Sometimes it's here
And then it's gone
But that's OK
Love goes on
Love goes on

I had my doubts
I was hard to get to
When I first met you
That night in old town
I was defensive
But you were relentless
In breaking my guard down
You asked me who broke it
Stole some emotions
Well, I'd have to recount

I never thought
That I'd bring seventeen
All the way to you and me
Thinking history repeats
And you never stay
You said you're so naïve
Thinking I could ever leave
Don't you know a heart
Can heal after it breaks?

And love goes on
Pages turn
Ends to songs
Lessons learned
Sometimes it's here
And then it's gone
But that's OK
Love goes on
Love goes on

Yeah, yeah
When it's here and then it's gone
Yeah, yeah
And you think you've lost the one
Yeah, yeah
Oh, when all is said and done
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Love goes on
Pages turn
Ends to songs
Lessons learned
Sometimes it's here
And then it's gone
But that's OK
Love goes on

Love goes on
Pages turn
Ends to songs
Lessons learned
Sometimes it's here
And then it's gone
But that's OK, yeah
Love goes on
Love goes on

Love goes on
Love goes on
