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
And all you care for are the compliments you crave

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
no, not according to fairless
Shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this
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
They can pull you down
