Might be a cold blank stare or a roll of an eye
You know it's slipping' through your fingers but you don't know why
Oh, oh it might die fast or bleed out slow, you never know
Might be the call that he got or the look on his face
Was it the lies on his lips I could almost taste
Oh, oh he might come clean or put on a show, you never know
The way love goes

Who can really say
Why love goes away
When it goes it's gone
We can't even see
We're watching as it leaves
Our eyes are closed
You never know the way love goes

It can go in the middle of the night
If you'd have known you'd have screamed, you'd have put up a fight
End up alone but at least you're right
You never know the way love goes

Don't close the door to your heart 'cause you think it'll break
Yeah, it's a roll of the dice, it's a chance you take
But once you give it away, it's out of your control
You never know the way love goes, yeah

Who can really say
Why love goes away
But when it goes it's gone
We can't even see
We're watching as it leaves
Our eyes are closed

Who can really say
Why love goes away
But when it goes it's gone, oh, it's gone
We can't even see
We're watching as it leaves
Our eyes are closed
You never know the way love goes

It can go in the middle of the night
If you'd have known you'd have screamed, you'd have put up a fight
End up alone but at least you're right
You never know the way love goes
Oh, the way love goes
The way love goes, oh
