Be That Way

Album: Lit

Intro
I'm looking back at you
Are you going to stay there forever
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way

Verse 1
You said that you would never leave
You lied about everything
And I ain't trying to guilt trip
'Cause I know that you feel this
I don't wanna hurt you
'Cause I know what you've been through
But sometimes I wanna go back
Throwback to the past let you know that
You shouldn't do that

Chorus
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Are you gonna listen
Do you hear what I say
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Are you gonna listen
Do you hear what I say when I say it

Verse 2
I thought that could take it
I guess I'm gonna have to
I don't wanna face it
I wanna go erase it
Sometimes I wonder it'd be like
If you would've made the right choice right
I guess we'll never know
But I bet it'd be better
Then in the sitting in the cold
In the winter no sweater
Wish I could write a letter
And put a stamp on it
That sends it back in time
So that you could not do it

Chorus
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Are you gonna listen
Do you hear what I say
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Why you gotta be that way
Are you gonna listen
Do you hear what I say when I say it

Verse 3
Say it, I'ma try to say it
Wish I that could rewind instead play it
Pause
Wish that I could take you back and tell you that before your madness
Save you from the folly pattern
All these clothes are more than tattered
Before you try to swallow daggers
Make sure that you ready for
Everything your betting off
Can you really take the loss
Do you wanna give it up
Will you ever get back up
Are you ready to be lost
Without a map to get back home
Why O why would you do it
I guess it was influence
I know that it was foolish
I know that it has ruined
Everything that we stand for
You ruined plan three
Guess we're moving on to plan four
I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do
I guess I'm supposed to pray
Hoping for you to choose
The next right choice
And I'm praying that do
It's a fight for your life
Make a choice for Christ
It's time to make a move

Outro
Do you want to stay there forever
Do you want to stay there forever
Do you want to stay there forever
Don't stay there
Don't stay there
Do you want to stay there forever
