Shouldn't Have to Be Like That
Fra Lippo Lippi
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It's always like this, people I know Read many books and save every dream, With all of their hope buried inside, somewhere And somewhere a man cries for his love A love that is lost, that withered too soon With all of his hope buried inside, somewhere Shouldn't have to be like that So all you can say is we need more time To get through the things that need to be said, With all our trust buried inside, somewhere And even if it takes a lifetime of trust To build something strong, what happens to us With all our faith buried inside, somewhere
