[Verse 1]
Bittersweet seasons
Mistake a warm winter for spring
Seems like I’m best at leaving
When leaving is not the best thing

[Chorus]
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now

[Verse 2]
I call you misplaced
But never a waste of my time
Everybody’s gonna make mistakes
But you’ll never be one of mine

[Chorus]
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now
I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did
And that’s just the way it goes now

[Post-Chorus]
Loved me fearless, you needed to
You would not rest 'til you came through
So, God bless, and thank you
[Verse 3]
There is no anger
It's just you, and I, and the truth
You can try to make her
But love will not be forced to bloom
To bloom

[Chorus]
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now
The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win
And that’s just the way it goes now

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And you stood before me
Knowing that the wings I have you gave
And that’s just the way it goes now
And I barely have the breath to breathe
Much less to fly away
And that’s just the way it goes now
[Post-Chorus]
And a silence entered the room
For one last "I’m gonna love you"
So, God bless, and thank you
So, God bless, and thank you
Thank you
