Name: How It Goes
Duration: P00H04M34S
Description: Here it is (wow it's been a while)! This song is about coming to terms with life after a relationship has ended — about accepting both that they're no longer here and that some parts of them will always be here. It's a bit retro, with 80s synths and Henry's amazing guitar solo at the end. I hope you like it as much as I do :)

lyrics

Lyrics:

It felt like eons ago we went separate ways
And if I wanted to, I'd still have nothing else to say
But I hope you've been okay
And to be honest I've moved on with my life
And even gotten my heart broken up a couple of times
Since I last called you mine

And it feels like I know
How it goes now
And it seems I'll be fine
Without you around

But then a song came on the radio
I thought that I forgot it long ago
Next thing I know
I'm on the road, in tears
It's not that I am even missing you
I'm just here wondering what the hell did I do
I let you go
This love I've known for years

It's just an album ago, we were more than friends
There's been a couple of shows that I wish that you could attend
And meet me after it ends

It doesn't hurt me to see you out
like it did before
And I am happy you're happy with
someone you adore

But then a song came on the radio
I thought that I forgot it long ago
Next thing I know
I'm on the road, in tears
It's not that I am even missing you
I'm just here wondering what the hell did I do
I let you go
This love I've known for years

But it seems like I know
How it goes now
It'll hurt less and less
Not having you around
But then I hear a song or a joke
That no one else would get
Guess I'll keep it to myself
With things that I wish I said

Our song came on the radio
We used to love it not so long ago
I don't know why it brings me to tears
It feels so foreign not to call you mine
And I don't know what I will do with my time
I'm on my own, for the first time in years

Is this how it goes?
