Doesn't Have to Be This Way

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming 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 but 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 who long to teach us
 should know and be left to betray.
 I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
 You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame
 I think you'll find they're one in 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 who long to teach us
 should know and be left to betray.
 I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
 Pray til a fool but surrender to your pain
 It's a good thing I don't need you to stay
 Sometimes I wonder where you're coming 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.
