Adam Lambert - The Happening lyrics

rate me

(Ft. Demi Lovato & Chris Colfer)

Hey, life, look at me!

I can see the reality

Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world

I woke up,

Suddenly I just woke up

To the happening, uh, uh

When you find, uh, uh

That you left the future behind

Cause when you got a tender love you don’t

Take care of,

Then you better beware of

The happening, oh!

One day you’re up (one day you’re up)

Then you turn around (when you turn around)

You find your world (you find your world)

Is tumbling down (is coming down)

It happened to me, and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure

Until love took a detour

Yeah, I’m riding high on top of the world

It happened, suddenly it just happened

The happening!

But I saw my dreams, oh, oh torn apart, oh, oh

When love walked away from my heart

(Beware of the happening!)

And when you lose that precious love you need

To guide you, something happens inside you

The happening, ooooh!

Now I see life (now I see life)

For what it is (for what it is)

It’s not of dreams (it’s not of dreams)

It’s not of bliss (it’s not of bliss)

It happened to me and it can happen to you (once)

Uh, uh, and then it happened (oh it happened)

Uh, uh, and then it happened (oh it happened)

Uh, uh, and then it happened (oh it happened)

Uh, uh, and then it happened (oh it happened)

Is it real, is it fake?

Is this game of life a mistake?

(Beware of the happening!)

Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine for certain

Suddenly I start hurting!

I saw the light too late, oh, oh

When that fickle finger of fate

Yeah, it came and broke my pretty balloon

I woke up, suddenly I just woke up

I felt so sure, felt secure

Until love took a detour

Cause when you got a tender love you don’t take care of

Then you better beware of

The happening, oh, oh, oh!
