Why???
Miles * more than I care to count * standing their ground * the barrier between us * Smiles * our last parting gesture * still too small to measure * the distance between us * WHY * IT’S HAPPENED THIS WAY * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * Any * time of day I can * close my eyes and * see your face * At night * when I’m asleep * I still can’t seem to keep you * out of my head * WHY * IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * You * more than a memory * closer than family * but still I can’t say it * No * I won’t let it get me * can’t someone protect me * from falling this time * WHY * I CAN’T ADMIT IT * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * Love * is a powerful word, or * so I have heard, but * who am I to say * Love * that wonderful feeling * love’s got me reeling * an emotional high * WHY * I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * Life * never quite fair * a big truth or dare * it’s all a game * One * continuous wheel * where nothing seems real * I’ll never win * WHY * I’M SO CONFUSED * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * Time * is breaking me down * it won’t be long now * I’m going crazy * Barely * even a kiss * and I feel like this * what’s the matter with me * WHY * I’M IN SO DEEP * I’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL I TRY * At * your picture I stare * and you’re not aware of * how much I miss you * Oh * what I’d give to hold you * what I’d give to know if * you felt the way I do * WHY * WE’RE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER * WE’LL NEVER KNOW * BUT STILL WE TRY * One * day we’ll be together * then it’ll be forever * oh why must we wait?
