It Doesn't Have To Be This Way Lyrics - Survivor

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
