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
|
|
( * Repeat)
|
( * Repeat)
