8 Years Lyrics by Anouk

For Bitter or Worse

0

8 years just all went down the drain
I'll make sure I make it up to you
Try not to make the same mistakes again
I keep my word and make it work for you

So what I'm trying to say is
Lay it down

There's no way to win this life ain't always fair
And once you learn how to play it
You still ain't there
Just hold your breath and watch the sun but don't get burned
But help the ones you love and try in your own way
To be free

Don't worry 'bout how it all went wrong
'Cause it won't change the past you see
And despite all the things I know
There's no place that I would rather be

Just hold on

What it all comes down to we will be just fine
But every now and then you'll find out there's no way
Out of this troubled state of mind I say
Sometimes you won't understand the way they play
But it won't break you

(I'm gonna make you believe)
I'm gonna make you see
You have to love
(I'm gonna make you believe)
The things that life is giving you my child
(I'm gonna make you believe)
I'm gonna make you baby make you make you baby
(I'm gonna make you believe)
And I'll be here to love you
There we go

There's no way to win this life ain't always fair
But ones you learn how to play it
You still ain't there
Just hold your breath and watch the sun but baby don't get burned
And help the ones you love and try in your own way
To be free
