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
