That's The Way It Goes
Valentina Parisse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It Really Makes Me Feel Alive
I've Never Felt The Same With You
Now I Have Gone Too Far
And Every Kiss Is Just A Lie
I Can't Believe But I Should
I Don't Like What I Feel But It Grows
It's A No Return
I Need Someone To Love
Don't Wanna Make You Cry
How Can Help You Understand?
I Gotta Set My Body Free
My Heart Is Talking, Talking
My Body's Shaking When He's Close
I Might Be Wrong, But This Is Me
That's The Way It Goes (That's The Way)
I Don't Like What I Feel But It Grows
It's A No Return
I Need Someone To Love
Baby That's The Way It Goes (That's The Way)
I Don't Like What I Feel And It Shows
I'm Not Turning Back
This Time I Need To Go
I Really Don't Wanna Make You Cry
How Can I Help You Understand?
I Gotta Set My Body Free
My Heart Is Talking, Talking
My Body's Shaking When He's Close
I Might Be Wrong, But This Is Me
That's The Way It Goes (That's The Way)
I Don't Like What I Feel But It Grows
It's A No Return
I Need Someone To Love
Baby That's The Way It Goes (That's The Way)
I Don't Like What I Feel And It Shows
I'm Not Turning Back
This Time I Need To Go
Baby That's The Way It Goes (That's The Way)
I Don't Like What I Feel But It Grows
It's A No Return
I Need Someone To Love
Someone To Love
(Help Me Find)
Someone To Love
(Help Me Find)
Someone To Love
(Help Me Find)
Someone To Love
That's How It Goes
Valentina Parisse's song "That's the Way It Goes" is a heart-wrenching ballad about love and the difficult decisions that come with it. The singer of the song is struggling with a complicated love triangle: she has deep feelings for someone who she shouldn't, and those feelings are beginning to unravel her. The lyrics reveal a complicated emotional landscape, as the singer tries to find a way to reconcile her desire for love with the guilt she feels for hurting someone else.
The opening lines of the song set the tone: "I Didn't Mean To Hurt / It Really Makes Me Feel Alive / I've Never Felt The Same With You." These lines reveal that the singer is torn between two people: one who she cares for deeply but who she shouldn't be with, and another who she's been with but doesn't feel the same way about. This is a classic love triangle, and it's clear that the singer is struggling to find a way out of it.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that she's gone too far, and that every kiss is just a lie. She knows that what she's doing is wrong, but she can't help how she feels. The chorus, "That's the way it goes / I don't like what I feel but it grows / It's a no return / I need someone to love" repeats this idea that the singer is stuck in a difficult situation with no easy way out. She needs someone to love, but she doesn't know who that someone is.
The emotional intensity of this song is powerful, with Valentina Parisse's vocals conveying the complicated emotions of the singer perfectly. The slow, mournful pace of the music reinforces the heart-wrenching quality of the lyrics, making it clear that this is a song about the pain of love and the difficult choices that come with it.
