Is It Always Like This? Songtext

von Lena Horne

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 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
