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
