Lyrics
The cold linoleum feels hard against my face
How did I become just a memory to erase?

You say, “That’s the way it goes”
As if your love is just the way the wind blows
You say, “It’s over for us” but heaven knows, I still love you

Steely blue and hard as ice, you cut me with your eyes
You don’t have to tell me twice, I feel our demise

You say, “That’s the way it goes”
As if you have no other feelings to disclose
Is it too late to try to warm a heart that froze? I still love you

I wanted to believe
My love would see us through
My desire made me blind to every clue

Guess you’re right, that’s the way it goes
Shows how foolish I am, I suppose
To think that I could change the life you chose, just ‘cause I love you
Yeah, that’s just the way it goes
There’s a time when all good things come to a close
I hate to say it ‘cause it makes me feel exposed, but I still love you
I still love you. I still love you
