Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hope you understand that I have to send you away
You may not understand but I know that you will one day
[Verse 2]
You're broken
I know this
[Verse 3]
And if you knew it you would love me a whole different way
[Verse 4]
But that's how love goes
Goes
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
That's how love goes
[Verse 5]
I tried to change you, tried to make you into someone else (Someone else)
I guess the only one I'm fooling is my stupid self
[Verse 6]
You're broken (Ah)
We know that (Ah)
[Verse 7]
And if you knew it you won't fight me when I say farewell
[Verse 8]
But that's how love goes
Goes
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
[Verse 9]
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
That's how love
[Verse 10]
Say one day I'll be back
Don't hold your breath
Just know I'll hold a place for you always
[Verse 11]
'Cause that's how love goes
Goes
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
[Verse 12]
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
That's how love goes, goes
Goes
Goes
That's how love goes
[Verse 13]
Yeah
Yeah-mmm (Oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 14]
That's how love goes
Woo-hoo (Yeah-yeah)
Whoa (Whoa)
[Verse 15]
(Goes)
Yeah, yeah
(Goes)
(That's how love goes)
[Verse 16]
(Goes)
And it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes
(Goes)
(That's how love goes)
[Verse 17]
(Goes)
(Goes)
(That's how love goes)
[Verse 18]
(Goes)
Woo
(Goes)
That's how love goes
[Verse 19]
Give it up for the beautiful Labrinth, everyone
We love you
