Well, I've been here--I'll be back again
But this time really feels like the end
We rolled out our promises
and they all came up lies
And no one even mentions one more try

Why should love be this way?
It lifts you up--
then brings you to your knees
There's got to be another way
another way--
there's just got to be

Well, it's over--the damage is done
But the questions have only begun
And lying beside you,
just hasn't put right
this lonliness night after night

Why should love be this way?
--It's taken
everything I need
There's got to be another way
another way--
there's just got to be another way

BRIDGE:
It isn't that we've changed our minds
--it's just that love got hard to find
in the silence we were living in
And now the exits must be grand
--to see who wins the final hand

Why should love be this way?
First it lifts you up--
then brings you to your knees
There's got to be another way
ohh, another way--
there's just got to be

Why should love be this way?
It just keeps takin'--
all the comfort that I need
There's got to be another way
ohh, another way, baby--
there's just got to be
