That Way

[Verse 1: RANJ]
Said you loved me the same
But you let the love waste away
Didn't have to be that way
Didn't have to be that way
Took some time to lift the weight
Of all the things I needed to say
Didn't have to be that way
Didn't have to be that way

[Verse 2: STEVIE]
Baby, we're caught up in all the traffic
It ain't a one-man job, this baggage
Oh, it didn't have to be that way
It didn't have to be that way
Still out here lookin' for the magic
When all the fire's burned down to ashes
It didn't have to be that way
Sometimes, I find it harder to erase
When I want you to stay, 'cause you

[Chorus: STEVIE, RANJ, Both]
Should've been forever babe, forever babe
Wish it could've been that way
Though I knew that you wouldn't change
I couldn't give up
But I couldn't make myself stay, never felt enough
Even if for us it's too late, I hope we rise above
And you're better to your next love

[Verse 3: Michael Timothy, RANJ, Both]
Yeah, yeah
The sun's goin' down
And you're not around
We're in the same city
But it feel like you're outta town
It's such a shame, pity how we had to go to the ground
Fled the castle of glass and you got rid of your crown
I'm drawin' blanks, yeah I'm out of options
I know you feel the same, I can see you frontin'
Girl, I can feel your pain, a world of emotions
I'm tryin' to cope with to put shit in motion
Yeah, yeah
Played out like a chain reaction
We changed opposite directions
Gettin' shortchanged, got the right place, right person
But the wrong time, but it's alright, we'll be alright (Be alright)
No more reason to pretend, no mistakes to defend
Did our parts, broke our hearts, though we didn't intend
It's time to retire the excuses, I'm tired
Burnt playing with fire, done with denial
This time, it's final

[Chorus: STEVIE, RANJ, Both]
Ooh, it should've been forever babe
Should've been forever babe
Wish it could've been that way
Though I knew that you wouldn't change, I couldn't give up
(Couldn't give up, couldn't give up)
But I couldn't make myself stay, never felt enough (Never felt enough)
Even if for us its too late, I hope we rise above
And you're better to your next love
To your next love
