just happens that way

let me tell you a story

from not so long ago

met a guy who'd given up on love

content to livin' life alone

he wasn't out there lookin'

he wasn't even tryin'

he almost didn't go to that wedding

where he met the best friend of the bride

it don't matter who you are

it don't matter what you say

you can try to hide your heart

but it can find you anyway

'cause love. yeah love. just happens that way

she spent her whole life lookin'

for what the fairytale sold

and every heartbreak she had

led her down that lonesome road

to the night at the altar

right behind the bride

she looked and caught one of the groomsmen

smilin' at her from across the aisle

it don't matter who you are

it don't matter what you say

you can try to hide your heart

but it can find you anyway

'cause love. yeah love. just happens that way

if you haven't figured out yet

this little story is mine

so pay attention to the lessons

hidden inside these rhymes

for every painful heartache

and every teardrop cry

could be another step leading you

to the best part of your life

it don't matter who you are

it don't matter what you say

you can try to hide your heart

but it can find you anyway

'cause love. yeah love. just happens that way
