it won’t always be like this

lyrics

“this too shall pass”
a ray of hope in the darkest times
but also a promise
in the best of times

because good times come
and good times go
the cycle never ends
i know, i know, i know

and when my shoulders
break under the weight
of the grief, the burnout
i need to believe

that it won’t always be like this
no, it can’t always be like this
when you’re in hell, just believe
it won’t always be like this

i don’t know who’s plan this is
and if there’s any rhyme or reason
but I won’t look up
until I can breathe again

until this peculiar mind of mine
no longer bears the weight
because I need to believe

that it won’t always be like this
no, it can’t always be like this
when you’re in hell, just believe
it won’t always be like this

it can’t always be like this
and nobody but god
has anything to answer for
so let her beg my forgiveness

“this too shall pass”
please keep your promise
because i need to believe

that it won’t always be like this
no, it can’t always be like this
when you’re in hell, just believe
that it won’t always be like this

(yeah, good times come, and good times go)
(the cycle never ends, i know, i know, i know)

when you’re in hell, just believe
(’cause good times come, and good times go)
that it won’t always be like this
