John Hobson - Why Does It Have to Be This Way Lyrics

Mama sitting in a parking
Kids in the back seat
Waiting for daddy to come
It's his turn this week
The kids don't understand
They don't know what's going on
Sometimes I think they believe
They did something wrong

But why does it have to be this way
Let's forgive each other
And start another day
Tell me why does it have to be this way
As he drops his head
And slowly walks away

Daddy puts the kids in the car
Tears fill their eyes
Staring out the window
Waving goodbye
What they can't see
Is mama's crying too
Doing this every week
Is tearing her heart into

She said why does it have to be this way
Let's forgive each other
And start another day
Tell me why does it have to be this way
As she wipes her tears
And slowly drives away

All he wants
Is what he wants to do
Not realizing
What the kids are going through

Tell me why does it have to be this way
Let's forgive each other
And fall on our knees and pray
Tell me why does it have to be this way
Were together now
Why can't we stay

Were together now
Why can't we stay
