  • I remember how I couldn't wait to get out of my hometown
    Now I'm looking for every excuse to go back on the weekend
    I can still see the front-porch balcony every time I leave
    Grandpa waving back at me
    Wish I could've told myself back then

    It won't always be like this
    It won't always be like this
    I know nothing lasts forever
    But sometimes I still forget
    It won't always be like this

    I remember hearing the door slam
    Twenty-two, didn't have a clue who I was
    Who I could trust, and who were my real friends
    I had big wings but didn't have a sky
    Just a front-row view of everybody flying high
    Waiting for my time, wish I could've told myself back then

    It won't always be like this
    It won't always be like this
    No, the heart won't ache forever
    No matter how hard it gets
    It won't always be like this, no

    Looking at you looking back at me
    All I wanna do is make another memory
    And love you like it's the end

    'Cause it won't always be like this
    It won't always be like this

    No, it won't always be like this
    I know it won't always be like this
    I wish love would last forever
    So I could live it all again
    It won't always be like this
    It won't always be like this Writer/s: Carly Pearce, Natalie Nicole Hemby, Sam Mackenzie Ellis
