Always Like This Lyrics

[Verse 2]
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
It's happening now
And it’s always been like this

(Like this, like this, like this...)

[Chorus]
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
I’m not whole
You waste it all
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
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
But I'm not gone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Gorgeous as the fragile emotional explosions of songs are on I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose, it comes as something of a relief that Bombay Bicycle Club occasionally stay true to the record’s title, breaking out Matinée-era Jack Peñate pizzazz (thankfully, the only nod to their humble origins in funk) on “Always Like This”, following a minimalist introduction that’s clearly been worshipping at the temple of Aphex Twin.
