Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't look at my face, but take my hand
When it's all over, you might understand
Along the way, I fear I lost my name
Maybe in time we can recover me
[Verse 2]
Underneath the heavy load, I realise
I ponder my reflection there's a new disguise
[Verse 3]
Don't stop, move on
Don't wait in vain
My fears and injuries are not my pain
This mystery is all that we shall see
My feet on the earth, oh how they carry me
[Chorus]
Who knew it would always be
Be like this?
Like this
Who knew it would always be
Be like this?
Like this
[Verse 4]
I sit at the edge as winds roll by my face
They take a piece of me I caress whatever's left of me
I give myself to elements, a fire side
A flame that lights the coldest night
A heart that fights the hardest fight
I surrender to this holy plight
For I know not what's beyond my sight
I will take back what was lost in flight
And so I say…
[Chorus]
Who knew it would always be
Be like this?
Like this
Who knew it would always be
Be like this?
Like this
[Outro]
Who knew, who knew
It would be like this?
Like this
Who knew, who knew
It would be like this?
Like this
Who knew, who knew
It would be like this?
Like this
Who knew, who knew
It would be like this?
Like this
