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 it's 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 it's not there
 It doesn't have to be that way
 You wake up and your heart is broken
 It's 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 it's not there
 It doesn't have to be that way
