Why?
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.
I don't know how
To tell you who I am
Try to justify
You'd still deny I'm a man
I never understood it
So I don't expect you to
But I can't change now
Love, just for you
Maybe it's better
That you know at last
Oh I am sorry
It all happened so fast
We might have lasted longer
If I told you when we met
But it's an old song
For you to forget
Why did you love me more
Lord did I let her down
Why did she never understand me
Whey did she love me
Lord did I let her down
Why is it so hard to be yourself
I never understood it
So I don't expect you to
But I can't change now
Love, just for you
Maybe it's better
That you know at last
Oh I am sorry
It all happened so fast
We might have lasted longer
If I told you when we met
But it's an old song
For you to forget
Why did you love me more
Lord did I let her down
Why did she never understand me
Whey did she love me
Lord did I let her down
Why is it so hard to be yourself
