Love Can Be That Way

I always said
I'd write a song when we were over
And I'm sticking to my word
Was it in your head
The way it'd go when we went under
Or does it strike you as absurd?

That love can be that way
Take you by your hand then leave you broken hearted
Love can be that way
Lift you up then lead you right back where you started.

From the very start
Wth me all broke and you all battered
And both our fragile hearts
Dancing in the dark
And holding on was all that mattered
Maybe that's the tricky part.

Cause love can be that way
Take you by your hand then leave you broken hearted
Love can be that way
Lift you up then lead you right back where you started.

If I'd known the story's ending
I'd have never let you in
There's no use in me pretending
All my life's a circle
It's coming around again.

Have I let you down?
Well as if I didn't know the answer
Still I'm hoping you'd say “no”
The old run around
Turn this tired fool into a dancer
Dancing around what we already know.

That love can be that way
Take you by your hand then leave you broken hearted
Love can be that way
Lift you up then lead you right back where you started.

Oh love oh love oh love
Oh love oh love oh love
Oh love oh love oh love.
