Song Description
Sometimes it's too painful to tell a love story the way it really happened. So we tell it not the way it was, but like it should have been.

Lyrics
TELL IT LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
VERSE 1:
If I could rewrite history like scholars do,
Make a happy ending for me and you,
Then I won't have to cry when the story ends--
I'll tell it like it should have been.
VERSE 2:
I could make believe that you married me,
Count our children, one-two-three,
We're still in love, that's my story when
I tell it like it should have been.
BRIDGE:
It's the whitest of lies, when I close my eyes,
It's like you never went away.
I remember when you'd touch my skin,
I still get chills today.
VERSE 3:
I mislead my friends just a little bit,
And I bend the truth without breaking it.
But it sounds so real, I believe it when
I tell it like it should have been.
SOLO= VERSE
BRIDGE:
It's the whitest of lies, when I close my eyes,
It's like you never went away.
I remember when you'd touch my skin,
I still get chills today.
VERSE 4:
No I'm not a scholar, or a Ph.D,
So it ain't my place changing history.
But in my own mind, I can still pretend,
And tell it like it should have been.
TAG:
No, I don't want to cry when the story ends,
I tell it like it should have been, yeah,
I tell it like it should have been.
