It Just Has to Be This Way

Reba McEntire · Room To Breathe [2003]

The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin

If we go there, it will start all over again

So don't even call, there's no need for checking in

If it's really over, let it just be over



No, we won't be sharing coffee

Or having lunch from time to time

I won't ask about your family

Please don't ask me about mine

This is never what I wanted

And it's killing me to say

It just has to be this way



We gave all we could, we fought the good fight

But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right

It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on

I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over



No, we won't be sharing coffe

Or having lunch from time to time

I won't ask about your family

Please don't ask me about mine

This is never what I wanted

And it's killing me to say

It just has to be this way



And even if I change my mind

Don't let me hurt me one more time

Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be



No, we won't be sharing coffe

Or having lunch from time to time

I won't ask about your family

Please don't ask me about mine

This is never what I wanted

And it's killing me to say

It just has to be this way



Oh, it just has to be this way
