Verse
I saw myself today
In a look of pain on her face
When she told me her story
I felt her rejection saw my reflection
& Suddenly I realized what I put you thru

You didn’t love me right from the start
I held that too close to my heart

Chorus
But you’re not to blame
Life just works that way
Someone falls in love first
That’s just the way it works
It’s fallin’ in & out of bliss or a stolen kiss
Life just works that way Life just works that way

Verse
I was a thorn in your side
Like a grape on the vine you took time
I tried to be more patient
Before your affection turned in my direction
I was always breaking down getting in the way

You didn’t love me right from the start
I held that too close to my heart

Chorus
But you’re not to blame
Life just works that way
Someone falls in love first
That’s just the way it works
It’s fallin’ in & out of bliss or a stolen kiss
Life just works that way Life just works that way

Bridge
We kept stepping, stepping on each other’s feet
Always dancing, dancing out of sync
We kept stepping, stepping on each other’s feet
Always dancing, dancing out of sync
I couldn’t forget how it was at the start
You didn’t hold me so close to your heart to your heart

Chorus
But you’re not to blame
Life just works that way
Someone falls in love first
That’s just the way it works
It’s fallin’ in & out of bliss or a stolen kiss
Life just works that way Life just works that way
