Lyrics

The Way It Goes
Words and Music by James Horning

verse
I left your memories in a bundle by the door
I?ve the strength now, I don?t need them anymore
I?ve cried all my tears now they no longer flow
And that?s the way it goes

The sun finally shed light down upon my day
I thought my night was never, ever gonna go away
The gentle breeze blew out the cobwebs with one blow
And that?s the way it goes

chorus
And that?s the way it goes when my world?s just fine
The way it goes when you?re off my mind
Well you know it?s about time
That I, take this road that lies here
I move ahead with no fear
Finally the future seems clear

And I?m not gonna let you take it back
Not gonna give you half a chance
And that?s the way it goes

verse
Sometimes I hear you whisper lies into my ear
That doesn?t mean I liestne just because I hear
The path you recommend is not the one I chose
And that?s the way it goes

So save your breath and store up all your desperate please
And I wouldn?t bother getting down upon your knees
Your acting is as good as ever but I?m a little tired of the show
And that?s the way it goes

chorus
And that?s the way it goes when my world?s just fine
The way it goes when you?re off my mind
Well you know it?s about time
That I, take this road that lies here
I move ahead with no fear
Finally the future seems clear

And I?m not gonna let you take it back
Not gonna give you half a chance
And that?s the way it goes
(Repeat Chorus)
