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).
