Well, I met her downtime at a trench party
I was crushing in a corner when she came up to me
I lit a cigarette, she sat down, we talked for a while
Said she was looking for someone to waste some time with
Well time was all we had so we spent our spare change
Emptied out our pockets at the bars by the fairway
Had a pretty good run before the end
Got out before it caught up, man
And as the black and whites faded into grey
They say that you can never look back
But I didn't wanna anyway
You know, that when I said I loved you
Well, I must have been drunk
Because you're no one that I'd ever love
And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone
No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong
And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"
50 cent beers in the corner store and a one-room apartment on the 13th floor
Sleep all day till the night creeps in through the open window and calls us again
Responsibility got knifed in the back, dumped in an alley and left for dead
But through all the mistakes and the beautiful lies
That we told ourselves when we were blacking out
Somehow we made our way out, but sometimes I miss it still
You know you can't raise the dead, so raise your glass instead
That's just the way it is
You know, that when I said I loved you
Well, I must have been drunk
Because you're no one that I'd ever love
And when I exorcize my devils you're the first one gone
No use in looking for an answer, now to what went wrong
And she said "hey, hey, you know it's alright, man, some things - they just turn out that way"
And she said "hey, hey, cause in the end it's just a mistake that we had to make"
And she said "sometimes things just turn out that way"
Sometimes things just turn out that way
