Why Do I
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.
Sometimes I write you letters that you'll never read
When I get to drinkin', I get to thinkin'
I wish you were thinkin' about me
Sometimes I look for girls that look the way you do
So fucking stupid, started to do it
When I saw you with someone new
It's been 10 months and 20 days
I'm the last thing that's on your brain
So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screamin' your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I? Oh!)
Some nights I think about the last time that we talked
Back in November, maybe December
All I remember's that you called me a piece of shit
Said you never wanna see my face again
You regret everything we ever did
You're obviously over it, so over it
So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screamin' your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I?)
It's been 10 months and 20 days
I've been wonderin' the same damn things
So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screamin' your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't)
So baby, why do I?
