Album: Lonely Runs Both Ways

Doesn't Have To Be This Way

Sometimes I wonder
Where you’re comin’ from
When you roll in like thunder
Just to turn around and run

It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay

You smell like moonlight and early morning rain
Pray til a fool might surrender to your pain
Or find a cure for your decay

You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
And that worn-out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you long to teach us
Should no one be left to betray

I don’t know the answer
But I know who to blame
You can the choose the dancer
or you can choose the flame
I think you’ll find they’re one and the same
It doesn’t have to be this way

You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
And that worn-out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you long to teach us
Should no one be left to betray

I don’t know the answer
But I know who to blame
Pray til a fool might surrender to your pain
It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay

Sometimes I wonder
Where you’re comin’ from
When you roll in like thunder
Just to turn around and run

It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay
It doesn’t have to be this way
