Mistake

Well, I met her downtime at a trance party
 I was crushing in a corner when she came up to me
 Lit her cigarette, she sat down, we talked for a while
 Said she was looking for someone to waste some time with
 Time was all we had so we spent it like spare change
 Emptied out our pockets at the bars by the fairway
 Had a pretty good run before the end
 Got out before it caught up, man
 And as the black and whites faded into grey
 They say that you can never look back
 But I didn't wanna anyway
 You know, that when I said I loved you
 Well, I musta been drunk
 Because you're no one that I'd ever love
 And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone
 No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong
 And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"
 fifty cent beers in at the corner store
 in a one room apartment on the 13th floor
 Sleep all day until the night creeps in thru the open window to call us again
 Responsibility got knifed in the back, dumped in an alley and left for dead
 But thru all the mistakes and the beautiful lies
 That we told ourselves while we were blacking out
 Somehow we made our way out, but sometimes I miss it still
 You know you can't raise the dead, so raise your glass instead
 That's just the way it is
 You know, that when I said I loved you
 Well, I musta been drunk
 Because you're no one that I'd ever love
 And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone
 No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong
 And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"
 And she said "hey, hey, cause in the end it's just a mistake that we had to make"
 And she said "sometimes things just turn out that way"
 Sometimes things just turn out that way
