Lyrics
No Matter What Happens
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at how she looks at me
I can never look at her that way
Full of all the feelings
And the soft unspoken words that lovers say
In all the words
And all the books
I wish there were a way to say
What she's taught me
Isn't written anywhere
And I'm supposed to be the one who's wise
One thing is certain
I can never be what she expects of me
I've wanted the shadows
I don't anymore
No matter what happens
I won't anymore
I've run from the sunlight
Afraid it saw too much
The moon had the one light
I bathed in
I walked in
I held in my feelings
And closed ev'ry door
No matter what happens
I can't anymore
There's someone who must hear
The words I've never spoken
Tonight if he were here
My silence would be broken
I need him to touch me
To know the love that's in my heart
The same heart that tells me
To see myself
To free myself
To be myself at last!
For too many mornings
The curtains were drawn
It's time they were opened
To welcome the dawn
A voice deep inside
Is getting stronger
I can't keep it quiet any longer
No matter what happens
It can't be the same anymore
I promise it won't be the same
Anymore!
