Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How we end up here?
Two feet apart, sitting 'cross the table with a hole straight through your heart
You wanna fight for me, you say you'd die for me
You ask when I made up my mind, try to trace it back
Was it ever real or was it always just an act?
You say you cried for me, 200 times for me
[Pre-Chorus]
And you keep me asking me the reasons, like the secrets I've been keeping from you
No there ain't a deeper meaning, like the seasons people change, yeah, we do
[Chorus]
And I can't tell you why (Why)
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
Why I don't feel it anymore
I can't tell you why (Why)
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
Why it's not like it was before
What you hoping for?
We keep having this conversation
I don't owe you an explanation
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
I can't tell you why, (Why), why
[Verse 2]
Careful, what you wish for
'Cause if I tell the truth it's gon' hurt you twice as bad
Baby, it's a lose, lose
Ain't no apology that's gonna set you free
Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
And you keep me asking me the reasons, like the secrets I've been keeping from you
No there ain't a deeper meaning, like the seasons people change, yeah, we do
[Chorus]
And I can't tell you why (Why)
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
Why I don't feel it anymore
I can't tell you why (Why)
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
Why it's not like it was before
What you hoping for?
We keep having this conversation
I don't owe you an explanation
Why, (Why), why, (Why)
I can't tell you why, (Why), why
