Bittersweet seasons. Mistake a warm winter for spring. Seems like I'm best at leaving when leaving is not the best thing. You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give That's just the way it goes. I call you misplaced but never a waste of my time Everybody's gonna make mistakes But you'll never be one of mine You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give That's just the way it goes. I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did That's just the way it goes now. Loved me fearless when you needed to You would not rest till you came through So God bless and thank you. There is no anger is just you and I and the truth You can try to make her but love will not be forced to bloom You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give That's just the way it goes. The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win and That's just the way it goes now. You would not break but you could bend And for love's sake you let love end But I still swear that you were God sent And you stood before me knowing that the wings i have you gave And that's just the way it goes And I barely have the breath to breathe much less to fly And a silence entered the room for a one last I'm gonna love you. So God bless and thank you.
