Why

Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why do summers start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
It's not like I can explain what's in my heart
It's just I feel a crazy pain when we're apart
I don't wanna breathe, I don't wanna think
I don't wanna learn, I don't wanna do anything
It's not like I can describe what's going on
It's just I feel I'm not alive when you're not home
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna be
I just want you here beside me
Without you there's no me
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why do summers start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why?
Why do we love if love will die?
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday?
Why do flowers come in May?
Why does springtime go away?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
It's not like I can escape what's in my soul
'Cause without you inside my heart where can I go?
I don't wanna see, no, you without me
I can't go through life without you
Without you there's no me
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why do summers start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why?
Why do we love if love will die?
Why do the rivers flow to the sea?
In every flow I get your love over me, babe
Why does my heart feel so missed?
To be in love, to feel your love
Why don't I feel complete?
Why does Monday come before Tuesday?
Why do summers start in June?
Why do winters come too soon?
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why?
Why do I love you? Tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
