Why Are

Late at night midnight movie
got no one to talk to, no one to see
and I am counting stars as I lay awake dear
I know you aint far, but I know you aint here for me
So why, why do I get so lonely when there really aint nothing wrong
cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
cant sleep at all when you're gone
yeah and why why do I stay out drinkin' when I should just get back home
I got some company with strangers
it's better than drinkin alone
too tired to sing walking down the street
and still cant sleep, just too many things I got running around my head cant put my thoughts to rest
think ill wait outside, when you wake I will confess
So why, why do I get so lonely when there really aint nothing wrong
cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
cant sleep at all when you're gone
yeah and why why do I stay out drinkin' when I should just get back home
I got some company with strangers
it's better than drinkin alone
So why do I get so lonely when there really aint nothing wrong
cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me
cant sleep at all when you're gone
yeah and why why do I stay out drinkin' when I should just get back home
I got some company with strangers
it's better than drinkin alone
So why do I get so lonely when there really aint nothing wrong
So why do I get so lonely when there really aint nothing wrong
So why do I get so lonely yeah there really aint nothing wrong
