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


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
