How It Goes

Every time I think I've finally had a breakthrough I get high just to unwind 'til my thoughts drift towards you "Give it a day" I say, attempting to be logical But there's no way that I can stay away That's just how it goes That's just how it goes Just how it goes Just how it goes Every time I put my heart on the line I think, "This time it'll be fine" Though I realize that's a naïve lie Every time I'm sure I've finally learned from my mistakes I drink some wine to get the nerve to ask you on a dinner date We share some laughs over some meals we both know that I can't afford Until the day arrives when you decide you can't do this anymore But that's just how it goes Just how it goes Just how it goes Every time I put my heart on the line I think, "This time it'll be fine" Though I realize that's a naïve lie
