Some Things Happen

lyrics

Some things happen. Some things happen.
You can get on your knees and pray, yeah, but some things happen.

Some things happen. Some things happen.
You can stay in your head all day, but some things happen.

This is not – the change you're hoping for.
This is not – your long lost love.
This is not – the hot new miracle.
This is, this is, this is IT.

And some things happen. Some things just occur.
My mamma used to say that there’s always a way, but I just stopped listening to her.

And I know you see yourself in everything I say and do.
Well hate to burst your bubble, love: you are not the unnamed you.

And this is not – a balanced argument.
This is not – an old old friend.
This is not – a full ride scholarship.
This is not – a happy end.
This is not – your affirmation call.
This is not – a self-help club.
This is not – your mom’s denial song.
This is, this is, this is, this is, the TRUTH.

This is not your daughter’s fairy tale.
Some things happen. Life goes wrong.
Blackout babies will go away as soon as the lights turn on.
Blackout babies die as soon as the lights – turn – on.

You are NOT the unnamed you, in anything I say or do.
