Life's a bitch and sometimes she can't take a hint
Brings my ex to parties, making sure he saw me
Just to see what I would say

Just my luck, moved away but I'm still stuck
It's a promise that gets broken, leaving windows open
On the only day it rains

Can't control what happens
When it happens, I tell myself

I know it hurts like hell but you're alive
Lost yourself, at least you tried
Happiness is a state of mind
If you can't get there, you just get by
Just get by

Mysteries, people change and people leave
Hard times make you honest, getting what you wanted
Isn't always what you need

Can't control what happens
When it happens, I tell myself

I know it hurts like hell but you're alive
Lost yourself, at least you tried
Happiness is a state of mind
If you can't get there, you just get by
Hurts like hell but you're alive
Lost yourself, at least you tried
Happiness is a state of mind
If you can't get there, you just get by

(By, by, by)
You just get by (by, by, by)
You just get by
If you can't get there, you just get by (by, by, by)
You just get by (by, by, by)
You just get by (by, by, by)
