It doesn't have to be that way

It doesn't have to be that way

Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there

It doesn't have to be that way.

I am a top star

I feel a racecar

I feel the rain on my flesh

The holes have darkened

The dogs are barking

But they ain't bitten me yet

You give up when the game begins

Looking like something that the cat dragged in

I shout but you can't hear me.

It doesn't have to be that way

It doesn't have to be that way

Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there

It doesn't have to be that way.

You wake up and your heart is broken

Its all broken again

You feel roped in

The trailers smoking

But there's a hole in the fence

I don't know how you stand the pain

Hoping on things that will never change

I shout but you don't hear me.

It doesn't have to be that way

It doesn't have to be that way

Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there

It doesn't have to be that way.

It doesn't have to be that way

It doesn't have to be that way

Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there

It doesn't have to be that way.
