Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No luck this morning
Check my paper, what's the news?
Yeah, the people don't stand for nothing
Sun's up but I still got the blues
[PreChorus]
And the games that you play
And the mess that we made
If you're looking for change
We have to turn it around, turn it around
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted to say
Is it can't be like this forever
Maybe we can find a way
To put this all back together
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
[Instrumental]
Lowkey I shouldn't be calling
'Cause you're worlds away and who am I to choose
What's right or honest?
What's good for me is never good for you
[PreChorus]
And the games that you play
And the mess that we made
If you're looking for change
We have to turn it around, turn it around
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted to say
Is it can't be like this forever
Maybe we can find a way
To put this all back together
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
[Instrumental]
So whatcha gonna do?
So whatcha gonna do?
So whatcha gonna do?
The mess that you make
So whatcha gonna do?
We have to turn it around, turn it around
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted to say
Is it can't be like this forever
Maybe we can find a way
To put this all back together
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
So whatcha gonna do?
'Cause it can't be like this forever
