Happens All The Time
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.
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
So who is left to play
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
I'm burning inside as the sun
And I only just begun
Love it fades so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
I know I've had enough, maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind
And when it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I can leave this world behind
No need to feel ashamed
And nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
Like stars we crush and burn
Only to return
These lines are change so fast
Sometimes I forget all I will regret
When I leave this world behind
And sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
