Lyrics

Didn’t have to be that way
Ollie Plunkett

I was such a fool to cover in the cracks
To let the moments pass and never stop to ask
To suffer in despair oblivious to facts
To turn the other cheek and never stop to ask


And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way

It took all the strength, that I could summon up
To save me from myself, to save me from my pride
To help me walk the line, to throw away the face
That hid away the pain that kept it covered up

And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
Chorus
You pulled down the shutters in your disconnection mode
You severed all connections with the past
You pulled the rug from under, removed the comfort zone
You opened a wound like broken glass

And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way

Chorus
You pulled down the shutters in your disconnection mode
You severed all connections with the past
You pulled the rug from under, removed the comfort zone
You opened a wound like broken glass

And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way
And it didn’t have to, didn’t have to, to be that way X 2
