it doesn't have to be this way
Sometimes alone at night I lie and wonder  Was breaking up the only thing to do  We live our separate lives like perfect strangers  But in the end, we're really perfect fools  Maybe in time we'll shake the memories  Maybe in time forget the pain  But baby tonight, this heart remembers  It doesn't have to be this way  We don't need to live the lie anymore  I want you back, I'm holding on  It doesn't have to be this way  Here we stand, love's an open door  It doesn't have to be this way  With breakin' up there comes this empty feelin'  The child within you, lost without a prayer  So you run a little wild searching for some meaning  Deep into the streets of your despair  What does it take to shake your memory  What in the world could ease the pain  How can I make your heart surrender  It doesn't have to be this way  We don't need to live the lie anymore  I want you back, I'm holding on  It doesn't have to be this way  Here we stand, love's an open door  It doesn't have to be this way  Maybe in time we'll shake the memories  Maybe in time forget the pain  But baby tonight, this heart remembers all the same  It doesn't have to be this way  We don't need to live the lie anymore  I want you back, I'm holding on  It doesn't have to be this way  Here we stand, love's an open door  It doesn't have to be this way  It doesn't have to be this way  We don't need to live the lie anymore  I want you back, I'm holding on  It doesn't have to be this way  Here we stand, love's an open door  It doesn't have to be this way  It doesn't have to be this way  We don't need to live the lie anymore  I want you back, I'm holding on  It doesn't have to be this way
