Alison Krauss - Doesn't Have to Be This Way lyrics

rate me

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.
