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»
But 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 I can’t afford
Until the day arrives that 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»
But I realize that’s a naïve lie
