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:
THE 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 HERE FOR NOW,
I KNOW HOW TO LIVE
DON’T RESIST THE 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
