Why do I choose the things I choose? Why do I always find some lame excuse? And why do I not realize what I could do? Oh, I wish I knew the reason why
Why do you get that sad look on your face? And why do you pull away from my embrace? And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes? Oh, I wish you knew the reason why
Why do we treat each other like we do? It's like we never even tried Why can't we get back to the love we knew? Oh, why? Oh baby, why?
Why do we have to play the same old games? And why do we run away from who's to blame? And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame? Oh, I wish we knew the reason why Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
