Did It Have to Be This Way Lyrics by Dodgy (UK)

Dodgy Live

2012

[Verse 1]
I remember the love we shared
Things you did to show you cared
Now past and future equals none
Wrong and right add up to one
[Chorus]
It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
[Verse 2]
There's no truth in your smile
I haven't slept for a while
You undress, I go to the bar
And I don't know who you are
[Chorus]
It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay
[Verse 3]
Do I smile if we don't kiss
I gotta learn to deal with this
How can I go up if I can't walk along?
Where in God's name did I go wrong?
[Chorus]
It's a crying shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay
Ain't nothing you can say
[Bridge]
I'm not in control of my emotion
You were my god, I had devotion
So I cried and got angry with you
What am I supposed to do?
[Verse 4]
I know you wouldn't disagree
You'll always be a part of me
And even though you ripped out my heart
I will miss you when we're apart
[Chorus]
It's a fucking shame, never be the same
Did it have to be this way?
What a price you made me pay
Ain't nothing you can say
[Outro]
You took my dream away
You took my dream away
You took my dream away
