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 rainbow

But you cry when it's not there

It doesn't have to be that way

I am a dark star

I feel a race car

I feel the rain on my flesh

The halls 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 rainbow

But you cry when it's not there

It doesn't have to be that way

You wake up and

Your heart is broken

It's all broken again

You feel roped in

The jailers 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 rainbow

But you cry when it's 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 rainbow

But you cry when it's not there

It doesn't have to be that way
