[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
