about
lyrics
And he’s been like this a while
For he keeps forgetting that every shadow
Needs light to survive
He has been lost
And I followed like any good friend
And I carried him as far as I could
But when I let go he just turned back
This is how it’s meant to be
Apparently this is for a reason
This is how it’s meant to be
But we can’t seem to find a reason
He is the victim and the culprit
Of his own crime
And I tried to be a mirror
So that this he might realise
I’ve been breathing for the two of us
And now I am so tired
My patience has fallen hard
For he’s not even trying
This is how it’s meant to be
Apparently this is for a reason
This is how it’s meant to be
But we can’t seem to find the reason
