Lyrics
AND IT GOES LIKE THIS
Tearing up the interstate, staring into space
Windows down to dry her tears, but the winds not keeping pace
Scanning cross the dial to find that song stuck in her head
It raised memories she could swear were dead
And it goes like this, every angry word
Pushed him further back, till she can't be heard
Now she's haunted by every sign she missed
Cause his love is gone, and it goes like this
She lays her keys down trembling, puts dinner on the range
She knew he had his problems, nothing her love couldn't change
She lashed out when he fell short, the scars she cut were long
It's almost like he'd written her that song
* * * *
She set's the table smiling, plates and silverware for two
She got her silver lining, and she only lost one shoe
She softly hums the melody, then in walks her whole world
One day she'll sing it to this little girl
And it goes like this, every angry word
Pushed her further back, till he can't be heard
Now he's haunted by every sign he missed
Cause her love is gone, and it goes like this
He's haunted by, every sign he missed
Cause her love is gone, and it goes like this
