Gotta Be

This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
Baby wait
I know you feel I’m stepping away, girl
But I don’t wanna end it this way, girl
No, no (I need you)
Stay girl, stay
Please won’t you just give me a moment
And listen to your heart for a moment
Oh yeah
It’s been a long ride
We just need time
To try to figure out some things
Cause we’ve been on this road before
And there ain’t no turning back, baby
Don’t you cry
I’m gonna make it right
Baby your love is all I know
And I’d be a fool to let it go
I can see it in your eyes
Baby there’s a pain inside
This is the lowest I will go
And we’re gonna make it through I know
And tell me girl
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
The thing that kills us
The thing that kills us
The thing that does it
Let me explain
I know I haven’t given my time girl
You’re the only one on my mind girl
(And I’m out here doing these shows)
Things will change
I know you think I always ignore you
But all the things I do, I do for you
(You better, I’m treating you better)
It’s been a long ride
We just need time
To try to figure out some things
Cause we’ve been on this road before
And there ain’t no turning back, baby
Don’t you cry
I’m gonna make it right
Baby your love is all I know
And I’d be a fool to let it go
I can see it in your eyes
Baby there’s a pain inside
This is the lowest I will go
And we’re gonna make it through I know
I’m telling ya
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
The thing that kills us
The thing that kills us
The thing that does it
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
The thing that kills us
The thing that kills us
The thing that does it
Oh, love can take a toll
But you are gonna have to trust me baby
Keep holding on (and trust me baby)
Keep holding on (and trust me baby)
I know this ain’t the death of us
Cause girl I know our long is strong enough
(Don't you cry
I’m gonna make it right
Baby your love is all I know
And I’d be a fool to let it go)
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
The thing that kills us
The thing that kills us
The thing that does it
This don’t gotta be, gotta be
This don’t gotta be
This don’t gotta be
The thing that kills us
The thing that kills us
The thing that does it
