Lyrics

how it should be

Never thought I could
Feel this way
A distant feeling I love
I just hope it stays
And I want nothing more
For you to feel this way
Keep on looking back to see how
Much has changed

It's been so long since I've felt this way
This is how it should be
Think for myself every day
This is how it should be
And for the days I start to forget
This is how it should be
This is how it should be

Never thought I could
Go so far
Stuck in a place can't retrace the steps
To take me back to the start
Cause I really wanna show you
It won't always be like this
And for the days you hate
There's days you wish you've never missed

It's been so long since I've felt this way
This is how it should be
Think for myself every day
This is how it should be
And for the days I start to forget
This is how it should be
This is how it should be

Don't waste all your time
I will change your mind
You will realise

It's been so long since I've felt this way
This is how it should be
Think for myself every day
This is how it should be
And for the days I start to forget
This is how it should be
This is how it should be
