"It Would Be" lyrics

Laura Mvula & Cynthia Erivo Lyrics

"It Would Be"

Don't look at my face, protect 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

Underneath the heavy load (Ooh-ooh)
I realized I count on my reflection (Ooh-ooh, heavy load)
As a new disguise

Don't stop, move on
Don't word in vain (Ooh-ooh)
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 (Who)

Who knew it would always be, be like this? (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh)
Like this (Who)
Who knew it would always be, be like this? (Always like this, oh-oh)
Like this

I sit at the edge as winds row by my face
They take a piece of me, I caress whatever's left of me (Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
I give myself to elements, a fire sign (A fire sign)
A flame that likes the coldest note (Ooh-ooh)
A heart that fights the hardest fight
I surrender to this holy plight (Ooh-ooh)
For I know not what's beyond my sight (Ooh-ooh)
I will take back what was lost in flight (Ooh-ooh)
And so I say (Ooh)

Who knew it would always be, be like this? (Oh-oh, always like this, oh-oh)
Like this (Who)
Who knew it would always be, be like this? (Always, oh-oh)
Like this (Who)
Oh-oh, who knew, who knew it would be like this? (Who knew it would always be; oh-oh, it would be like this? Always like this, oh-oh)
Like this
Who knew, who knew it would be like this? (Who knew it would always be; oh-oh, it would be like this? Always like this, oh-oh, who knew?)
Like this (Who)
Who knew it would be like this?
Like this (Like this)
Who knew it would always be like, it would be like this? (Who knew it would be, be like, who knew, it would be like this?)
Like this (Always be)
Oh
