Sooner or Later
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.
Sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down),
crashing down (crashing down) when everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)everyone knows now
(So you're sad)
About the moment you lost your love (Damn)
You couldn't see her leaving
(You were gassed)
And that's sucks don't it
'Cause God yanked the rug and holding your heart
will not help you breathe
Sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down),
crashing down (crashing down) when everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'll cash down (you'll cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)everyone knows now
It all comes crashing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
(So you're sad)
And you should own it and you fucked up (Damn)
You thought that you were the team
(You were gassed)
And now you're a opponent who wears your gloves (Damn)
A nightmare just ate up your dreams
Sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down),
crashing down (crashing down) when everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'd cash down (you'll cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)everyone knows now
It all comes crashing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
(So you're sad)
Could have had so much done you blew it off (Damn)
Your chance is passing you by
(You were gassed)
Time waits for no one
And it cost for a lost
Because made joke should you laugh or cry
Sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down),
crashing down (crashing down) when everyone's around
I bet you would've paid up or you'd cash down (you'll cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)everyone knows now
It all some crashing down
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
It's over believe it
