Blake Mills - Always This Way lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Instrumental]
