Anouk - 8 Years lyrics

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
