Lena Horne
Is It Always Like This?
Oh she can wait
For what I can give
She knows what I am but
She won't believe me
Is it all ok?
Will I come off the lightest?
I can't believe it
It's always like this
Kept it at bay
Yes you kept your words
There on your mouth
But it's not what I heard
If I follow the light
That I deem the brightest
I won't believe that
It's always like this
I'm not whole
I'm not whole
You waste it all
I'm not whole
I'm not whole
You waste it all
I'm not whole
Oh you can wait
For what I can give
You know what I am
So you know how I live
Try to look proud
But you're not in the slightest
Its happening now
And it's always been like this
I'm not wholе
I'm not whole
You waste it all
I'm not whole
I'm not wholе
You waste it all
I'm not whole
