The Way Things Had To Be Lyrics - The Uneventful Vacation - Commander Venus

Why do we always end up like this? 

The same position on the couch 

Staring into each other's eyes 

But do we have to talk about this now 

And do I have to feel like crying? 

Because I, I don't want to run 

And don't come back again 

We could have avoided this 

Five desperate hours pass 

And now we know the truth 

That I can't learn to love you 

So desperate I can taste it 

Wishing things were different 

But still I cannot change 

Run, and don't look back again 

There's nothing left to see 

These empty months have proved 

My inability to treat you 

Like you deserve to be treated 

But then you can't expect me 

To change who I am 

So from now on I will not leave myself 

Open to needing someone 

And trust is not the answer 

That's just what we do when 

We can't stand to be alone again
