Newsflash and a heart attack
I didn't even know how to react
So I made every mistake twice
Completely out of pure spite
I sent my phone overseas
So I'm impossible to reach
Someone else crashes the waves of my hair
I'm no longer living times of despair
And I've been making a living
Out of the life we'd live together
Lately singing is easy
The songs will stay forever
And all of our friends seem to be only yours now
Playing pretend when they meet me out downtown but
What could I ever say? What could I ever do?
I'm going my own way while life laughs back at you
Swings and roundabouts
Turns out the plans we made actually worked out
But we weren't around to see it through
The ride home is always longer when you're coming back as someone new
I've been making a living
Out of the life we'd live together
Lately singing is easy
The songs will stay forever and ever
And all of our friends seem to be only yours now
Playing pretend when they meet me out downtown but
What could I ever say? What could I ever do?
I'm going my own way while life laughs back at you
Life laughs back at you
With a humor like yours, you should know it's a fact
That if you're keeping score, then life laughs back
With a humor like yours, you should know it's a fact
That if you're keeping score, then life laughs back
And I never had to worry back when you were with me
Got a shovel in my pocket, bury my jealousy
But you see, what could I ever say? What could I ever do?
I'm going my own way while life laughs back
And all of our friends seem to be only yours now
Playing pretend when they meet me out downtown but
What could I ever say? What could I ever do?
I'm going my own way while life laughs back at you
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Life laughs back at you
