[English]

Hey, it's gonna be okay

I'm always gonna be around

No matter if you're up or down

Hey, what did I say?

I'm never gonna let you drown

No matter if you're up or down

Are we gonna make it?

Are we gonna fake it?

Don't always wanna face it

So we just get wasted

Let's make a toast to

Everything we've been through

'Cause I don't always like you

But I'm always gonna love you

Blood, sweat, tears

Have we had enough?

Take my hand

We're not giving up

And everybody say, "Hey, it's gonna be okay"

I'm always gonna be around

No matter if you're up or down

Hey, what did I say?

I'm never gonna let you drown

No matter if you're up or down

I can be a psycho

But you can throw a low blow

We gotta learn to let go

We'll try again tomorrow

So cheers to the broken

And here's to the hopin'

If we just keep goin'

The road is gonna open

Blood, sweat, tears

Have we had enough?

Take my hand

We're not giving up

And everybody say, "Hey, it's gonna be okay"

I'm always gonna be around

No matter if you're up or down (yeah)

Hey, what did I say? (I'm)

I'm never gonna let you drown

No matter if you're up or down

...

I'm never gonna let you drown

No matter if you're up or down
