Lyrics
Sometimes alone at night I lie and wonder
Sometimes, during lonely moments at night, I contemplate and question
Was breaking up the only thing to do
Whether ending the relationship was the sole option
We live our separate lives like perfect strangers
We exist leading separate lives as if we are complete strangers
But in the end, we're really perfect fools
Ultimately, despite appearances, we are foolish in reality
Maybe in time we'll shake the memories
Perhaps with time, we'll overcome the memories
Maybe in time forget the pain
Possibly, over time, we'll forget the pain
But baby tonight, this heart remembers
However, tonight, my heart still holds onto these memories
It doesn't have to be this way
There's a chance to change our situation
We don't need to live the lie anymore
We no longer need to live a falsehood
I want you back, I'm holding on
I desire your return and am holding onto hope
It doesn't have to be this way
There's an opportunity for things to be different
Here we stand, love's an open door
Presently, love is accessible and available
It doesn't have to be this way
There's a chance for an alternate outcome
With breakin' up there comes this empty feelin'
Separation leaves an emptiness
The child within you, lost without a prayer
Your inner child is lost without hope
So you run a little wild searching for some meaning
You're searching recklessly for meaning
Deep into the streets of your despair
Deep within your despair, you wander the streets
What does it take to shake your memory
What will it require to erase your memories?
What in the world could ease the pain
What in this world could alleviate your suffering?
How can I make your heart surrender
How can I make you let go and surrender your heart?
It doesn't have to be this way
There's a possibility for change from this situation
We don't need to live the lie anymore
We no longer have to deceive ourselves
I want you back, I'm holding on
I yearn for your return and refuse to let go
It doesn't have to be this way
An opportunity exists for a different path
Here we stand, love's an open door
Love is still an option, waiting to be embraced
It doesn't have to be this way
There's room for change and a new direction
Maybe in time we'll shake the memories
Perhaps eventually, we'll move past these memories
Maybe in time forget the pain
Possibly, with time, the pain will fade away
But baby tonight, this heart remembers all the same
However, tonight, my heart recalls everything the same
It doesn't have to be this way
There's an alternative to the current situation
We don't need to live the lie anymore
We don't need to continue living a false reality
I want you back, I'm holding on
I'm eager for your return and steadfastly holding on
It doesn't have to be this way
There's potential for change and a different outcome
Here we stand, love's an open door
Love still remains an option to explore
It doesn't have to be this way
There's a chance for things to be different
It doesn't have to be this way
There's another path to take
We don't need to live the lie anymore
We no longer have to live a false reality
I want you back, I'm holding on
I long for your return and refuse to let go
It doesn't have to be this way
There's an opportunity for a different future
Here we stand, love's an open door
Love is still within reach, waiting to be embraced
It doesn't have to be this way
There's a potential for change from this situation
It doesn't have to be this way
There's another possibility
We don't need to live the lie anymore
We don't need to continue living a falsehood
I want you back, I'm holding on
I eagerly desire your return and steadfastly hold on
It doesn't have to be this way
There's an opportunity to alter the current state of affairs
