This Too Will Pass

(album: How About Now - 2007)

You signed the papers, now you're a free man
You'd give yourself a party if you gave a damn
You stood your ground on shifting sand
And it all adds up to what
Well, life goes on, brother, like it or not
And it hurts like hell when the pain won't stop
But oh, this too will pass

You got a ton of advice, you can take it or leave it
You said you're getting' better, but you don't believe it
You spend your days just praying and breathing
But night's another thing
And you're standing on the corner watching street lights change
And you wish to God you could do the same
Oh, this too will pass

You tell yourself this can't be real
Be strong, be tough, and you won't feel it
You tell your story till you can't tell it no more

You haven't a clue which way you're gonna land
But the good news is it's outta your hands
And pretty soon now you're gonna understand
'Cause love just kicked your ass
Oh, oh, oh, this too will pass

Got your worries and your fears
And the rain come a pouring
Troubles got you down on your knees at last
Don't you worry 'bout the tears
They'll be gone by the morning
Everything eventually will pass

Oh, I believe you'll find
Like everything in time
This too will pass

Oh, I believe you'll find
Like everything in time
This too will pass

Oh, I believe you'll find
Like everything in time
This too will pass

It's the dark of the night
It's the birth of the king
It's the end of an era
The dawn of a dream
This too will pass

Rivers don't run
Without any rain
Babies ain't born
Without no pain
There ain't no loss
Without some gain
Oh, this too will pass

Oh, I believe you'll find
Like everything in time
This too will pass

Oh, I believe you'll find
Like everything in time
This too will pass
