“Everything Happens To You” is a 2021 single by Cold Holiday, and will be track three on the upcoming album “We Are All We Have.”
Your world gets loud, your ears are ringing
When it quiets down, you miss the screaming
Throw out the keys, you get locked out
You jump before you look and wonder how you fall to the ground
Well I warned you, and you promised to listen
But you never heard what I said
And I warned you, what you wanted would hurt you
But you didn’t want to understand
I can warn you, again and again
But I can’t make you see if you want to believe that
Everything happens to you
Everything happens to you
You played with fire and I got burned
You missed the lessons I already learned
I point to a new world, you only want yours
Then you push and you push and you push and you wonder why I’m halfway out the door
Well I warned you there was no going back but you thought you’d get another chance
And I warned you that I knew what you’d done but you said it was circumstance
I can warn you, again and again
But I can’t make you see If you want to believe that
Everything happens to you
Everything happens to you
Everything happens to you
Everything happens over and over to you
But the world doesn’t work the way that it used to
The world doesn’t work the way that it used to
The world doesn’t work the way that it used to
No one works that way, and neither should you
And you know and you know and you know that neither do you
