Not Everybody Goes (That's Life) Lyrics

When we were young I pictured us

As something that I won't give up

But now I think it's time to walk away

I tried to show you what real love

Could be but you don't want to trust

I think it's hurting more for me to stay

I guess not everybody goes where you're going

Sometimes we're holding just a little too tight

To what's out of our control, gotta let you go babe

Everybody knows it and baby that's life

Mmm

I guess you're not going

The same way that you said you were

And now I don't know if

If you meant any of your words

When you told me we shared the same dream and

When you said that you cared for my feelings

Baby say it wasn't all pretend

What's crazy is I'd do it over all again and I

I'd be coming right back to this place

Watching you go the other way

Wondering how to make you stay

I tried to wait but you ain't never turned around

I watched our bridge go burning down

Now there's no way to return now

Return to me

I guess not everybody goes (not everybody goes)

Where you're going

Sometimes we're holding just a little too tight

To what's out of our control (what's out of our control)

Gotta let you go babe

Everybody knows it and baby that's life

Mmm

I don't know what's worse

Holding on to memories or letting them fade

Cause even though it hurts

I can't imagine throwing them all away

I've cried every night ever since you left from my side

But I can't do this baby I'm tired of thinking of you

And I've heard many times

People say out of sight's out of mind

Then I don't know why you ain't out of mine

And I'm thinking of you

And when we were young I pictured us

As something that I can't give up

But now I think it's time to walk away

And I tried to show you what real love

Could be but you don't want to trust

I think it's hurting more for me to stay

I guess not everybody goes where you're going (stayyy)

Sometimes we're holding just a little too tight

To what's out of our control (what's out of our control)

Gotta let you go babe (I gotta let you go)

Everybody knows it and baby that's life (baby that's life)

Mmm
