Just How The Story Goes

‘Cause when you know,

You know

When you know, you know

Just how the story goes,

When there are more cons than pros,

Losing touch with him day after day,

No more cooking on the stove,

laundry piling up in the hamper,

Waiting for him to notice, but he don’t,

So trust that you know, how the story unfolds

Don’t you know, that you can do something about it girl,

Don’t you know, that you can heal from a broken heart,

You won’t be the first girl, and you won’t be the last on earth

To recognize the signs of a man, who has clocked out from you

'Cause when you know, you know.

You stop making mistakes, waiting for love to grow.

When you know, you know,

You don't need permission to let go.

There's a whole sky outside that window,

A whole life beyond what broke your soul.

You don’t have to disappear, or suffer in silence

O when you know...

You know.

You kept the light on far too long,

Calling it hope when it was gone.

Old records spinning through an open door,

Dust in the sunlight, nothing needed more.

No map, no reason, just something in your soul.

Even if the whole world says, "Take it slow,"

Love has its own language—

When you know, you know.

If it's written anywhere, it's written in the soul

Like the dawn arriving soft before it starts to glow,

Pre-Chorus

Some doors don't slam, they slowly close,
And peace arrives before you know.

One day you'll look back

And thank yourself for moving on.

You won’t be the first girl, and you won’t be the last on earth

To recognize the signs of a man, who has clocked out from you

'Cause when you know, you know.

You stop making mistakes, waiting for love to grow.

When you know, you know,

You don't need permission to let go.

There's a whole sky outside that window,

A whole life beyond what broke your soul.

You don’t have to disappear, or suffer in silence

O when you know...

You know.

The city glows like a match in the rain,
Gold on the pavement, calling my name.
I wasn't looking for lightning to show,
Then your eyes found mine so slow.

He said baby,

I cooked for you,

I washed the clothes,

I cleaned the house,

Unpack your bags,

Give me another chance,

He said baby,

I cooked for you,

I washed the clothes,

I cleaned the house,

Unpack your bags,

Give me another chance,

So I called my mother on the phone,

Asked her for her advice,

And this is what she said

Trust that you know, how the story unfolds

Don’t you know, that you can do something about it girl,

Don’t you know, that you can heal from a broken heart,

You won’t be the first girl, and you won’t be the last on earth

To recognize the signs of a man, who has clocked out from you

'Cause when you know, you know.

You stop making mistakes, waiting for love to grow.

When you know, you know,

You don't need permission to let go.

There's a whole sky outside that window,

A whole life beyond what broke your soul.

You don’t have to disappear, or suffer in silence

O when you know...

You
