Shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this

No, not according to fairness

Shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this



Don't keep me waiting, I'm not a patient man

Don't fool yourself I am

Don't make that face at me, tell me sh**

Why, what am I supposed to see

You've never known how to share what has grown

You'd turn your back on me, after all we've seen

And I've always been...



... there for you to help you make your way

And all you care for are the compliments they pay



And you dare to be cool with me

There's a fight building up inside of me

You gave it a life in me

When you mistook my calmness for apathy

Look for the greater truth

You let their love convince you you're bullet proof

Put one foot back onto solid ground

If they can build you up sure they can pull you down



Shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this

Your greed is making you careless

Shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this

No, not according to fairness



The bigger the lie, the louder the shout

We both know what it's all about

The more we defend, the bigger the doubt

We both know what it's all about

All we achieved makes it harder to believe

You'd turn your back on me,

after all we've seen and I've always been...



... there for you to help you make your way
