Lyrics
Why Do We?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do we lie to each other
Why do we fight with the ones we can't lose
Where art thou heavenly father
Where are our minds in this world that we knew?
Wide awake but sleeping
Counting sheep, oh in the dark
Blaming these same old mistakes
With the warmth I'm freezing
Is it love when we're apart?
Would you please wish me well?
'Cause I don't know to tell
If you love me
I don't know to ask
If it's just me
Or maybe it's the way
You're touching me
That I don't know to ask?
Why do we hurt like this?
Why do we fight with each other
Why do I lie when I just wanna tell you the truth?
Why do you think I'm the fool?
Every time I choose to be loving you
Lie awake but dreaming
You're so close but yet so far
When I'm with you on this bed
What is wrong I wonder
Are we hiding in the past?
Thought that I knew you well
'Cause I don't know to tell
If you love me
I don't know to ask
If it's just me
Or maybe it's the way
You're touching me
That I don't know to ask?
Why do we hurt like this?
I don't know to tell
If you love me
Oh my God
To hell with c'est la vie
Us together oh somehow
I feel complete
But I don't know to ask
Why do we hurt like this?
Why do we?
Why do we?
Why do we?
Why do we hurt like this?
Why do we?
Why do we?
Why do we?
Why do we hurt like this?
Why do we?
