It doesn t have to be that way
It doesn t have to be that way
Girl you re chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn t have to be that way
I am a top star
I feel a racecar
I feel the rain on my flesh
The holes have darkened
The dogs are barking
But they ain t bitten me yet
You give up when the game begins
Looking like something that the cat dragged in
I shout but you can t hear me
It doesn t have to be that way
It doesn t have to be that way
Girl you re chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn t have to be that way
You wake up and your heart is broken
Its all broken again
You feel roped in
The trailers smoking
But there s a hole in the fence
I don t know how you stand the pain
Hoping on things that will never change
I shout but you don t hear me
It doesn t have to be that way
It doesn t have to be that way
Girl you re chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn t have to be that way
It doesn t have to be that way
It doesn t have to be that way
Girl you re chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn t have to be that way
