|
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) |
