Mild language, alcohol reference, mature relationship themes
These lyrics depict a mature, reflective look at a past romantic relationship that ended on difficult terms. The content includes a censored use of a mild expletive ('dick'), an alcohol reference ('I'll have a drink'), and a darkly humorous line about violence ('Thankful you don't send someone to kill me'). The themes are primarily emotional and introspective — dealing with regret, self-awareness, and the complicated aftermath of a relationship. There is no sexual content, explicit violence, or drug references beyond casual alcohol mention. The self-deprecating tone and emotional complexity are best suited for teenagers and older audiences who have more life experience with relationships and personal growth.

Two Augusts ago, I told the truth, oh But you didn't like it, you went home You're in your Benz, I'm by the gate Now you go alone, charm all the people you train for You mean well but aim low And I'll make it known like I'm getting paid That's just the way life goes I like to slam doors closed Trust me, I know it's always about me I love you, I'm sorry Two summers from now, we'll have been talking But not all that often, we're cool now I'll be on a boat, you're on a plane Going somewhere sane And I'll have a drink, wistfully lean out my window And watch the sun set on the lake I might not feel real, but it's okay, mm 'Cause that's just the way life goes I push my luck, it shows Thankful you don't send someone to kill me I love you, I'm sorry You were the best but you were the worst As sick as it sounds, I loved you first I was a -, it is what it is A habit to kick, the age-old curse I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad I stare at the crash, it actually works (works) Making amends, this - never ends I'm wrong again, wrong again The way life goes Joyriding down our road Lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me (I want that, I want that) I love you, I'm sorry The way life goes (you were the best, but you were the worst) (As sick as it sounds, I loved you first) I wanna speak in code (I was a dick, it is was it is) (A habit to kick, the age-old course) Hope that I don't (I tend to laugh, I know it won't last) Won't make it about me I love you, I'm sorry
