Lyrics
It started out the same
As any other day
It ended on the floor
Crawling through the rubble
The disruption of destruction
But I'll tell you something
I've learned about life
People will do what they need to survive
And it all comes down to why
And it all comes down to why
Hearts shattered
Shards scattered
Even strangers pray (Pray pray)
But I'll tell you something
I've learned about pain
People will do what they need to escape
And it all comes down to change
And it all comes down to change
Reason and fault you could find
To help soften the blow
But to blame and batter the cause
Wouldn't help you to grow
I'll tell you something
That I've learned about life
People will do what they need to survive
(The disruption)
I'll tell you something (Of destruction)
That I've learned about pain (The disruption)
People will do (Of destruction)
What they need to escape (The disruption)
I'll tell you something (Of destruction)
That I've learned about love (The disruption)
People will do (Of destruction)
What they can to adjust
But I'll tell you something
I've learned about wrecked
People will do what they need to connect
And it all comes down to when
And it all comes down to when
