Doesn't Have to Be That Way

You're on your side

Of the southside of town

And I'm here on mine

Tryna keep a little lonely away

Independently watchin'

The same sun go down

But it doesn't have to be that way

We said the last time was the last time

And if we were in our right minds

It's probably how things should stay

But I got half a bottle left

And no one to drink it with

And it doesn't have to be that way

Baby you and me gotta whole lotta heart broke history

And it is what it is but it ain't the way it's gotta be

We could waste time makin' our minds

Go back and forth till midnight

Or you could be just on your way

Oh yeah, cause this beds feelin' empty

And I miss you and you miss me

And it doesn't have to be that way

Awh, no it don't

Ohhhh, Ohh

Awh baby you and me gotta whole lotta heart broke history

And it is what it is but it ain't the way it's gotta be

You're on your side

Of the southside

Said you'll be here in no time

One more time for old times sake

We can make up, we can make love

You can leave right when you wake up

But it doesn't have to be that way

Oh, the crazy thing about us

Is we try to live without us

But it doesn't have to be that way
