[Intro]
Hello? Hello?

[Verse 1]
It seems to be so obvious
That you know what I don't
Take me through this emptiness
Where you can build a home
Bleach the imperfections
Plating them in gold
Make that big connection
Filling in the mold

[Verse 2]
Where would we be without you to show us what to see?
Such a great example of what it ought to be
Free, indeed
We know you are
Free, in deep
You can't hide the scar

[Chorus]
So it has to be this way?
Shows exactly who you are
Given away, pushing the gray to start
So it has to be this way
[Bridge]
Thought you'd make it
Thought you'd take it
On your way
Look around sometime
Suffer me
Suffer me
It has to be
What a waste of time

[Interlude]
Sympathy is leaving me

[Chorus]
So it has to be this way?
Shows exactly who you are
Given away, pushing the gray to start
Told it has to be this way

[Post-Chorus]
(So what? So what?)
So it has to be this way? (So what? So what?)
(So what? So what?)
So it has to be this way? (So what? So what?)
(So what? So what?)
So it has to be this way? (So what? So what?)
(So what? So what?)
So it has to be this way? (So what? So what?)
(So what?)
