Lyrics: It Just Had to Be This Way
Album: Room to Breathe
Artist: Reba Mcentire
 

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 checkin’ in
If it’s really over let it just be over

No we won’t be sharin’ coffee
Or havin’ 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 killin’ 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 sharin’ coffee
Or havin’ 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 killin’ 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
(Stay away)
Be as cold as you can be

No we won’t be sharin’ coffee
Or havin’ 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 killin’ me to say
It just has to be this way

Oh, it just has to be this way
