[Verse 1]
Well my head's filled with static
But I won't be erratic
And it's all so dramatic
It had to be this way

[Verse 2]
So we laid in the hammock
Say I woke up an addict
Your reply's automatic
"It had to be this way"

[Chorus]
All of the things she said
All the times I thought I knew her better
But it's only been
Three short weeks and one long day
Well we barely know each other
And I barely know myself
But I must admit
It had to be this way

[Verse 3]
And the truth that we're bending
As we keep on pretending
That we're friends in the ending
It had to be this way
