He doesn't know what he's dealing with
But he's willing to take a chance
He doesn't know that she'll break his heart
And in a year, they'll be struggling to be friends
But he'll do what he wants to
He's got no reason not to
Go with it
Fight for it
When it's time to quit
You'll have learned from it
Those tired old cliches about love and loss
They're truer than you think
He knows they both tried to make it work
But eventually it had to end
And now he's past the point of no return
He's single once again
And he'll do what he wants to
He's got no reason not to
Go with it
Fight for it
When it's time to quit
You'll have learned from it
Those tired old cliches about love and loss
They're truer than you think
Take your time
Clear your mind
Rest a while
And learn to smile again
You're wiser now, my friend
So in a year, he's experienced
All the highs, the lows, the joy and the pain
He feels that it's worth it for what he's learned
And he'd do it all again
Go with it
Fight for it
When it's time to quit
You'll have learned from it
Those tired old cliches about love and loss
They're truer than you think
