8 Years - Anouk

8 years just all went down the drain

I’ll make sure I make it up to you

Try not to make the same mistakes again

I keep my word and make it work for you

So what I’m trying to say is

Lay it down

There’s no way to win this life ain’t always fair

And once you learn how to play it

You still ain’t there

Just hold your breath and watch the sun but don’t get burned

But help the ones you love and try in your own way

To be free

Don’t worry 'bout how it all went wrong

'Cause it won’t change the past you see

And despite all the things I know

There’s no place that I would rather be

Just hold on

What it all comes down to we will be just fine

But every now and then you’ll find out there’s no way

Out of this troubled state of mind I say

Sometimes you won’t understand the way they play

But it won’t break you

(I'm gonna make you believe)

I’m gonna make you see

You have to love

(I'm gonna make you believe)

The things that life is giving you my child

(I'm gonna make you believe)

I’m gonna make you baby make you make you baby

(I'm gonna make you believe)

And I’ll be here to love you

There we go

There’s no way to win this life ain’t always fair

But ones you learn how to play it

You still ain’t there

Just hold your breath and watch the sun but baby don’t get burned

And help the ones you love and try in your own way

To be free
