The Way Things Had To Be

Why do we always end up like this?

The same position on the couch staring into each other's eyes

But do we have to talk about this now

And do I have to feel like crying?

Because I, I don't want to run

And don't come back again, we could have avoided this

Five desperate hours pass and now we know the truth

That I can't learn to love you

So desperate I can taste it

Wishing things were different

But still I cannot change

Run, and don't look back again

There's nothing left to see

These empty months have proved my inability to treat you like you deserve to be treated

But then you can't expect me to change who I am

So from now on I will not leave myself open to needing someone

And trust is not the answer

That's just what we do when we can't stand to be alone again
