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 topstar
I feel a race car
I feel the rain on my flesh
The holes are darkened
The darks are blackened
But they ain't get to 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 rotten
The trail is 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, and 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
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
