This Is How It Goes

Standing on the steps thinking I could try again
Or I could tear this all apart
I don't need you now, like I did back then
I just don't want to fall too hard

But this is how it goes
When you let it back in
This is how it goes
And this is how it goes
When you're defined by it
This is how it goes

I can be alone, I could be myself again
I don't have to play a part
Getting offered sex even though you're waiting [?]
I just don't want to go that far

But this is how it goes
When you lose lovers and friends
This is how it goes
And this is how it goes
When your means become hands
This is how it goes

And I hear a voice as sweet as before
It's been the same from the start
Oh just this once, and just this once more
I watched this all fall apart

But this is how it goes
When you let it back in
This is how it goes
And this is how it goes
When your defined by it
This is how it goes
Goes
