[Verse 1]
Remember our book club? Yeah
With Yves Saint Laurent
The first and the last book we started on? Yeah
We used to spend our days and our eves on the phone
First date and we both rocking Louis Vuittons? Yeah
I don't know about this chick
'Cause I'm still heartbroken from this motherfucking bitch
Who made me feel like I was never really worth shit
So you must be dumb if you're interested, right?
Yeah, you must be a fool
If you fall in love with me and I'm a goddamn loser
So I abused her
Four years later and I lose her
Goddamn, I've been distracted for years
This the first time that I see things clear
Looking back, covering my MacBook in tears
'Cause you did so much and I just didn't care

[Chorus]
Well, that's how things go
When you only learn on the long way home
I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know
That you're happy now, so I let it go
Well, that's how things go
When you only learn on the long way home
I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know
That you're happy now, so I let it go
[Verse 2]
They say it hurts like a bitch
But I swear a bitch never fucking hurt like this
But I use the pain to change
And the music to express what I can't say
Remember back in the day
At the club, in the line, when you first said "Hey"
You said you were a fan of my grandma
You love the part where she plays with the camera
Now she's telling me she regrets it ever happened
She wish she would've spent those years with someone else
And kept her confidence, 'cause she used to be
So secure and sure of what she does and needs
Yeah, it hurts to hear, but I know it ain't true
'Cause this boy right here's "half me", "half you"
I know there's purpose for what we've been through
Even if you don't see it right now, I do

[Chorus]
Well, that's how things go
When you only learn on the long way home
I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know
That you're happy now, so I let it go
Well, that's how things go
When you only learn on the long way home
I lo-love you girl, but I know, know, know
That you're happy now, so I let it go
Hit me with it one more time
