I found myself back on my feet again When we were friends and we had nothing left Now that I'm on the up and up again My heart's as heavy as it ever gets How it goes This is how it goes I can't give the best of me Heavy heart inside of me, inside of me I'm not your curse, I'm not your antidote There's things I'll do and babe there's things I won't Don't try to test me I won't play for broke Your false bravado never wins my vote How it goes This is how it goes I can't give the best of me Heavy heart inside of me, inside of me I bang my head, rattle the bars and fight I can't escape myself, no nothing ever changes I bite my nails, I'm losing sleep at night No matter what I do, no nothing ever changes Please don't believe me 'cause I've been untrue I don't know why I do these things I do I'm sorry I can't make it to your door Without my heavy heart falling through the floor How it goes I can't give the best of me, heavy heart inside of me This is how it goes I can't give the best of me, heavy heart inside of me This is how it goes This is how it goes
