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
