Lyrics

It’s been We pass in the hall

on our way to sep ’rate rooms.

The on ly time we ev er talk

is when the month ly bills are due.

We go to work, we go to church, we fake the per fect life.

I’m past the point of giv in’ damns, but hearts can on and all my tears are cried.

We can just go (E)on

(Esus)like

this.

Say the word, we’ll call

it

quits.

Ba by, you can go

or you can stay,

but I won’t love you eith er way.

It’s been so long since I felt

an y thing in side these walls.

The You can’t hate and you can’t hurt

is when when you don’t feel at all.

I used to cry and stay up nights and won der what went wrong.

I’m past the point And it’s been hard, but hearts can on and do that for so long.

We can just go (E)on

(Esus)like

this.

Say the word, we’ll call

it

quits.

Ba by, you can go

or you can stay,

but I won’t love you eith er way.

(CN.C.)We can just go

About “Either Way

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Either Way" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature E, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 70 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
