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 
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 
Maybe in time we'll shake the memories 
Maybe in time forget the pain 
But baby tonight, this heart remembers all the same 
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 
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 
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
