Did It Have To Be This Way

(album: Stand Upright In A Cool Place - 2012)

I remember the love we shared
Things you did to show you cared
Now past and future equals none
Wrong and right add up to one

It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?

There's no truth in your smile
I haven't slept for a while
You undress, I go to the bar
And I don't know who you are

It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay

Do I smile if we don't kiss
I gotta learn to deal with this
How can I go up if I can't walk along?
Where in God's name did I go wrong?

It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay
Ain't nothing you can say

I'm not in control of my emotion
You were my God, I had devotion
So I cried and got angry with you
What am I supposed to do?

I know you wouldn't disagree
You'll always be a part of me
And even though you ripped out my heart
I will miss you when we're apart

It's a fucking shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay
Ain't nothing you can say

You took my dream away
You took my dream away
You took my dream away
