Two Augusts ago,
I told the truth oh, but you didn’t like it, you went home.
You’re in your Benz, I’m by the gate.
Now you go alone,
charm all the people you train for, you mean well but aim low.
And I’ll make it known like I’m getting paid…
That’s just the way life goes,
I like to slam doors closed.
Trust me, I know it’s always about me,
I love you, I’m sorry…
Two summers from now,
we’ll have been talking, but not all that often, we’re cool now.
I’ll be on a boat,
you’re on a plane,
going somewhere, same.
And I’ll have to think,
wistfully lean out my window and watch the sun set on the lake.
I might not feel real,
but it’s okay, mmhm.
‘Cause that’s just the way life goes,
I push my luck, it shows.
Thankful you don’t send someone to grill me,
I love you, I’m sorry…
You were the best but you were the worst,
as sick as it sounds, I loved you first.
I was too quick, it is what it is,
a habit to kick, the age-old curse.
I tend to laugh whenever I’m sad,
I stare at the crash, it actually works.
Making amends, will this never end,
I’m wrong again, wrong again.
The way life goes,
joyriding down our road.
Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me,
I love you, I’m sorry.
The way life goes
I wanna speak in code
Hope that I don’t, won’t make it about me
I love you, I’m sorry…
