Always This Way (总是这样) - Laura Marling

Written by：Laura Marling

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

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

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

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
