How A Man Should Be

from Should I? by Henry Bateman

/

lyrics

The night is deep like the tide
Worked up boys, production lines
Your lipstick stains will all turn stale
Your love is like a beggar’s wail

I hope you find some peace
But that life is not for me
I’ll show you how to be.

Open arms make peaceful hearts
That is how a man should be
Peaceful hearts point to stars
That is how a man should be
That is how a man should be

But I’ve no love inside these bones
It’s buried far beneath the snow
Amongst the trees that grow so deep
I wait for warmth, my truth to leak

I feel so incomplete
There’s a missing part of me
Won’t you show me how to be?

Open arms make peaceful hearts
That is how a man should be
Peaceful hearts point to stars
That is how a man should be
That is how a man should be

That is how a man should be
That is how a man should be

Open arms make peaceful hearts
That is how a man should be
Peaceful hearts point to stars
That is how a man should be
