Lyrics
The Way It Should Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don´t understand what you do,
I don´t even know how you live.
You think that I´m better than you,
I think that it´s better to give.
You want me to tell you the truth,
You want me to reason and wait my turn.
I haven´t the nerve to say no,
I guess I deserve the burn you gave me.
Can´t show my eyes, I
don´t want to know,
I haven´t the time to go any slower.
I don´t understand how you live
And I don´t even care if
you´re not my brother!
