Whatever Happens, Happens (Lyrics)

Former self disavowed, the worst is over now Here’s to the end of my descension; I raise my glass to you Kept in the dark for so long, convinced that I belonged down in the dirt Broke, cold, inert; I resigned myself to lose You never can tell when the tides are gonna change So you hold your breath and hope that fate shines your way Until that day, the dark awaits And you are the one who must find a way out on the waves Though it feels like the light’s been lost, let hope remain The darkest of nights still bring the day It takes as long as it takes I’m not saying that there aren’t marks on my past I’m not proud of when I look back But those days are dead now; at least a bad year is something to sing about I played dead for too long; the worst days brought me the best songs And I found words to throw the earth, and bury that cursed ruse But you never can tell when the tides are gonna change So hold your breath ‘til that day Come back stronger (You’ll get what you deserve) Come back stronger (I’ve learnt that lesson) So pick yourself up off the ground (It takes as long as it takes) You’ve lived through worse things (I’ve seen the world in tones of grey) So pick yourself up off the ground (It takes as long as it takes) You’ve lived through worse things, you’ll get through this day The dark awaits, and you are the one who must find a way out on the waves You’ll chase the dark away when you are the one who must find a way out on the waves Though it feels like the light’s been lost, let hope remain The darkest of nights still bring the day It takes what it takes Until that day, the dark awaits…
