Since you've been gone, I remember just the good
But I guess that is wrong, 'cause I'd forget you if I could
I still recall the heartbreak, the false cry before the final fall
And at the end of everyday, before I sleep I still pray

It's just the way that you love me
That wakes me and takes me to you again
It's just the way that you left me
That grabs me and shakes me, sometimes it breaks me apart
That's just the state of my heart, boys

I think I'm doing fine
Some days I don't even think of you
Way back when you were mine
Before you said that we were through

But that's in the past
And some things are not meant to last
But one thing's sure, it was pure love
How the others faded fast?

It's just the way that you love me
That wakes me and takes me to you again
It's just the way that you left me
That grabs me and shakes me, sometimes it breaks me apart

Seems like you've been gone so very long
My heart needs to just move on
Yet it's alright, I tell myself at least I had your love
But it was over before I had enough

It's just the way you love me baby
That wakes me and takes me to you again
It's just the way that you left me baby
Grabs me, shakes me, sometimes it breaks me apart

That's just the state of my heart
Just the state of my heart

The way you love me
It's just the way you love me
