He gives another smile, tries to understand her side
To show that he cares, 
She can't stay in the room 
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on 
She says 
 [bad word] ] 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 

Everything will be alright, he assures her 
But she doesn't hear a word that he says 
Preoccupied, she's afraid 
Afraid what they've been doin's not right 
He doesn't know what to say, so he prays 
Whatever, whatever, whatever 
 [bad word] ] 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand 

Don't let go of my hand 
Don't let go of my hand 

He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy 
Forgetting all the dreams that he had 
He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world 
It doesn't have to be that bad 
She tried to explain, "It's you that makes me happy," 
Whatever, whatever, whatever 
 [bad word] ] 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand 

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand 
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand
