You're in your Benz, I'm by the gate

And I'll make it known like I'm getting paid

I'll be on a boat, you're on a plane going somewhere, same

And I'll have a drink

Wistfully lean out my window and watch the sun set on the lake

I might not feel real, but it's okay, mmm

Thankful you don't send someone to kill me

You were the best but you were the worst
D
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first

I was a dick, 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, this sh*t never ends
C
I'm wrong again, wrong again
[Chorus]

The way life goes
Am7 C
Joyriding down our road

Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me (I'm wrong again, wrong again)

I love you, I'm sorry

The way life goes (You were the best but you were the worst) (As sick as it sounds, I loved you first)

I wanna speak in code (I was a dick, it is what it is) (A habit to kick, the age-old curse)
G D Am7
Hope that I don't, won't make it about me (I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad)
(I stare at the crash, it actually works)

I love you, I'm sorry
