[Verse 1]
There's a song that you can find
In every moment of your life
In every tear you've ever cried
In every painful last goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the system breaks you down
Just listen to the sound
[Chorus]
What do I do when it's all been done
When the words have all been sung
And I've given up the best of me
Let the music play
When I'm hanging by a thread
And I've got nothing to give
Let the music play
Let the music play
[Verse 2]
There's no way to explain
Why life is filled with so much pain
But do the flowers ever grow
In the places it don't rain?
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the system breaks you down
Just listen to the sound
[Chorus]
What do I do when it's all been done
When the words have all been sung
And I've given up the best of me
Let the music play
When I'm hanging by a thread
And I've got nothing to give
Let the music play
Let the music play
Let the music play
[Verse 3]
A chorus sings a distant song
Forgotten words that I once sung
Telling me to just keep holding on
I've never been more alone than here
I turn and face my darkest fear
I just got to keep on keeping on
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the system breaks you down
Just listen to the sound
[Chorus]
What do I do when it's all been done
When the words have all been sung
And I've given up the best of me
Let the music play
When I'm hanging by a thread
And I've got nothing to give
Let the music play
Let the music play
Let the music play
Let the music play
