(verso 1) we didn’t crash, we didn’t burn no big explosion, no sharp turns just quiet nights and shorter calls till there was nothing left at all we used to talk like we had time now every word feels so confined no one’s wrong and no one’s right just two people losing the fight (pre-coro) and I could beg you not to leave but that’s not who I wanna be (coro) so this is the way it has to go no slammed doors, no “I told you so” just letting go of what we were even if it kinda hurts I won’t say you broke my heart we both let it fall apart sometimes love just loses hope and that’s the way it has to go (verso 2) I saw it coming, so did you we just ignored the obvious truth kept pretending we were fine while slowly running out of time and I could list the things you did or all the ways I didn’t fit but honestly, what would that change? we’d still end up in the same place (pre-coro) no villains in this story now just us not knowing how (coro) so this is the way it has to go no broken glass, no big show just walking out without a scene into what’s next for you and me I won’t say you broke my heart we both played our equal part sometimes love just can’t be saved even when you want it to stay (puente) and maybe someday we’ll look back and not feel like we lacked something we should’ve held onto but something we just outgrew (coro final) yeah, this is the way it has to go no twisted truth, no highs or lows just two people letting go of something good we used to know I won’t hate you for the end I won’t try to stay friends sometimes goodbye is all you owe and that’s the way it has to go (outro) no, it’s nobody’s fault… just the way it has to go
