Sometimes alone at night I lie and wonder
Is breaking up the only thing to do
We live our separate lives like perfect strangers
But in the end, were really perfect fools
Maybe in time well shake the memories
Maybe in time forget the pain
But baby tonight, this heart remembers
It doesnt have to be this way
We dont need to live the lie anymore
I want you back, Im holding on
It doesnt have to be this way
Here we stand, loves an open door
It doesnt have to be this way
With breakin up there comes this empty feelin
The child within you, lost without a prayer
So you run a little wild searching for some meaning
Deep into the streets of your despair
What does it take to shake a memory
What in the world could ease the pain
How can I make your heart surrender
Maybe in time well shake the memories
Maybe in time forget the pain
But baby tonight, this heart remembers all the same
