The Way That It Has to Be

Lyrics

[CLAIRE] It's the way that it always was You should know by now You should know by now The body does what it always does Things'll break somehow You should know by now You know you only last so long You know you're only made so well And you'll be gone eventually 'Cause that's the way that it has to be Time goes by like it has to go [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] Flying by like light Flying by like light [CLAIRE] Summer rain must turn into snow [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] Every day, each night Flying by like light [CLAIRE] But who says endings must be sad? Who says goodbyes aren't just routine? Seems like a normal thing to me [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] 'Cause that's the way that it has to be [CLAIRE] When that final moment comes I'll say, "Hi," and shake its hand Be polite and let it in But if I'm still hеre for now I know how to live Don't resist thе way things are Don't forget how good it's been It's the way that it always was [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] It'll be okay It'll be okay [CLAIRE] A robot does what she always does [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] It's the only way It'll be okay [CLAIRE] You know you're stronger than you think You know you're made to take a lot And if it doesn't come for free Well, that's the way that it has to be [CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS] It's the way that it always was It's the way that it always was It's the way that it always was
