This Is How It's Meant to Be

He only sees shadows behind shadows and he's been like this a while

For he keeps forgetting 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 a reason

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
