[Verse 1]
I never wanted to say it
I'm tired of being so wasted
Of wasting my life on the basis
Like to keep with the changes, oh
So I called you friend and she said you weren't home
Asked her where you are, and she said she don't know
I'm tired of being your option, your second replacement
I gotta say it
You can't just do what you did and say what you said then try to erase it
Uh, why you acting like we ain't that close anymore?
Uh, what's on your mind?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know?
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way, just the way yeah

[Chorus]
Trouble's beautiful (Oh lord, oh lord)
Trouble's beautiful (Oh lord, oh lord)
Trouble wears high heeled shoes
Trouble looks just like you
Trouble wears high heeled shoes
Trouble looks just like you

[Verse 2]
Said we were tryna get it right
I can tell the difference when I'm looking in your eyes, oh
I'm always fallin' for your type
Sinnin' on synthetics like we get to live it twice, oh
I keep on putting my weight in
You keep on pulling them faces
Starting to feel like we're strangers
We used to be so close, weah
Said we were tryna save the night
But now we gonna flip it, flip it up, hold up, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you know?
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way, just the way, yeah

[Chorus]
Trouble's beautiful (Oh lord, oh lord)
Trouble's beautiful (Oh lord, oh lord)
Trouble wears high heeled shoes
Trouble looks just like you
Trouble wears high heeled shoes
Trouble looks just like you

[Outro]
That's just the way it go, way it go
That's just the way it go, way it, way it (Yeah)
That's just the way it go, way it go
That's just the way it go, way it, way it (Yeah)
That's just the way it go, way it go
That's just the way it go, way it, way it (Yeah)
That's just the way it go, way it go
That's just the way it go, way it, way it

Liam Payne

Liam James Payne is an English R&B-pop singer-songwriter. He made his debut as a singer when he auditioned as a solo artist for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. He reauditioned as a solo artist in 2010, where he was put into a group along with four other contestants, to form the boy band that would later become known as One Direction.

Since joining One Direction, Payne, along with bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and former bandmate Zayn Malik, have released five commercially successful albums, performed on four worldwide tours, and won multiple awards, including several BRIT Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards. He has worked independently under the monikers “Big Payno” and “Payno”, creating remixes for songs such as British pop singer Cheryl’s single “I Don’t Care”.

When One Direction first announced their hiatus in 2016, Liam said that he would stay in the music, but not go into a solo singing career. On May 10, 2017, Liam announced the release of his debut single “Strip That Down”. It became one of the biggest-selling debuts of all time, one of the most streamed songs of Summer 2017, making it the biggest selling song by any member from One Direction at the time.
