Had to Be That Way
Echoes of Regret: Unveiling the Emotional Canvas in 'Had to Be That Way'
Lyrics
I've got a picture of you I do
I possess a photograph of you
Hanging on my wall
Displayed on my wall
But I don't want to see it
However, I don't desire to observe it
I'd rather see it fall
I'd prefer it to fall
I've got a picture of you I do
I have another image of you
Right above my head
Directly above me
But I don't want to see it
Yet, I don't wish to see it
'cause you'd rather see me dead
As you would rather witness my demise
You said that I don't care
You asserted that I'm indifferent
But if I don't care
But if that were true
Why do I feel so bad
Why am I overwhelmed with sorrow
I made a few mistakes
I admit to some errors
You made me feel so bad
Yet, you caused me significant distress
It had to be that way
It was inevitable for things to unfold this way
It had to be that way
It had to happen in this manner
I think of you I do
Thoughts of you cross my mind
But I'm not gonna crawl
But I won't humiliate myself
I'd rather sit here wondering
I'd rather contemplate in uncertainty
Than to give you a call
Than reach out to you
I think of you I do
Reflections of you linger
But I'm not gonna cry
Yet, I won't shed tears
I'd rather sit here wondering
I'd rather ponder here alone
Than to give you my time
Than invest my time in you
