The Way That It Has to Be

It's the way that it always was

You should know by now

You should know by now

The body does what it always does

Things'll break somehow

You should know by now

You know you only last so long

You know you're only made so well

And you'll be gone eventually

'Cause that's the way that it has to be

Time goes by like it has to go

Flying by like light

Flying by like light

Summer rain must turn into snow

Every day, each night

Flying by like light

But who says endings must be sad?

Who says goodbyes aren't just routine?

Seems like a normal thing to me

'Cause that's the way that it has to be

When that final moment comes

I'll say, "Hi," and shake its hand

Be polite and let it in

But if I'm still here for now

I know how to live

Don't resist the way things are

Don't forget how good it's been

It's the way that it always was

It'll be okay

It'll be okay

A robot does what she always does

It's the only way

It'll be okay

You know you're stronger than you think

You know you're made to take a lot

And if it doesn't come for free

Well, that's the way that it has to be

It's the way that it always was

It's the way that it always was

It's the way that it always was
