It’s the Way It Should Be
I can’t pretend baby
That I care what you say
It’s just that lately
I’m not listening anyway
I was on the edge
Always looking for a fight
Guess I got my wish now darling
Cause you’re here tonight
It’s the way it should be
You’re no good for me, But it’s OK
You were kind of boring anyway
All your condescension
And pretension, I know why
You have absolutely nothing left
In your life
I laugh at your transparency
The games you think you play
Then why is it so easy
For me to just walk away?
All day long you ramble on
You’re so much better than me
If that’s true then why are you
The one who can’t see?
It’s the way it should be
You’re no good for me, it’s OK
You were kind of boring anyway
All your condescension
And pretension, I know why
Cause you have absolutely nothing left
In your life
It’s the way it should be
It’s OK
Cause you were boring anyway
All your condescension, I know why
Cause you’ve got nothing left
It’s the way it should be
You’re no good for me, But it’s OK
Cause you were so damn boring anyway
All your condescension
And pretension, I know why
You have absolutely nothing left
In your life
