Why
It's hard to think of reasons why there's so many words we never say
Why I always end up leaving when I know inside you're telling me to stay
Why you lose faith in language
Why you don't let conscience be your guide
Well I'll see you in the future
When you think it's all over but I take you by surprise oh
I know you said you'd forget that I was ever there
The minute you see another face
But there in the back of your mind I know you keep a light
A little fire that won't go away
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
And why all the fighting instead of just trying it out?
Why're you so in the backseat afraid of your heartbeat?
Faking a smile why'd you waste your time?
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
Does there have to be a reason to give in to something that you want?
When it ought to be so simple but you lead us round in circles and it's taking too long
Oh I know the moves that you make so you can get away
I've seen them so many times before
But I know that look in your eyes no matter how you try
You say you're done but you always want more
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
And why all the fighting instead of just trying it out?
Why're you so in the backseat afraid of your heartbeat?
Faking a smile why'd you waste your time?
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
Just coming around
Are you trying to save me from someone who can't be
Enough of a man to give what I can?
Are you trying to save me from ending up lonely
Or just wasting the time that you could be by my side?
Just coming around
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
And why all the fighting instead of just trying it out?
Why're you so in the backseat afraid of your heartbeat?
Faking a smile why'd you waste your time?
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
And why all the fighting instead of just trying it out?
Why're you so in the backseat afraid of your heartbeat?
Faking a smile why'd you waste your time?
So why'd you keep running instead of just coming around?
