Always This Way

I'd like to say that I could've stayed
 But she didn't want me to
 I'd like to know if she had to go
 Or if she made a point to
 It's so hard to say
 Is it always this way?
 Must every heart break
 Like a wave on the bay
 Like to think that we're all a link
 In what makes the world go round
 Lately I wonder if all my pondering's
 Taken up too much ground
 I make my own way
 So at the end of the day
 At least I can say
 That my debts have been paid
 ♪
 25 years, nothing to show for it
 Nothing of any weight
 25 more, will I never learn from it
 Never learn from my mistakes
 It's too soon to say
 Was I always this way?
 Well at the end of the day
 My debts have been paid
 Now she's gone and I'm all alone
 And she will not be replaced
 Stare at the phone, try to carry on
 But I have made my mistake
 At the end of the day
 At least I can say
 I made my own way
 And my debts have been paid
