Supposed To 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.
Sat on the rooftop
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
Watching the rain become the sea
Hearing my love talk
In every breathe she ever breathes
Like it was always supposed to be
Like that
But then we broke up
And she went west and I went east
She got a new boyfriend
A little too soon if you're asking me
But I've heard that she loves him
A little bit more than she'll ever love me
And it was always supposed to be
Like that
I looked to the skyline
And said: "how many falls until I fly?"
Looked to the old times
And said: "how many roads until I find?"
And oh it's tough now
Cause love always, love always is unkind
I sat on the rooftop
And I watched the birds flying free
I watch the clouds walk
And I watch the rain become the sea
And just for a moment
Just for a moment I felt so free
From all I'm supposed to be
I looked to the skyline
And said: "how many falls until I fly?"
Looked to the old times
And said: "how many roads until I find?"
And oh it's tough now
Cause love always, love always is unkind
