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
