Lyrics
I DON?T REMEMBER WHY I LOVE YOU
I don?t remember why I love you, but I do.
Could you find me in the dark? I don?t recall.
Did you care enough to linger after love?
I don?t remember. No, I don?t remember that at all.
I don?t remember why I need you, but I do.
Did you hang the clothes that we left on the floor
Or call me twice a day to let me know you?re near?
Did it all fly away when you finally shut the door?
Now that you?ve gone, I?m really in a mist
About our favorite places for a tryst
And where we put our noses when we kissed.
I don?t remember why I lost you, but I did.
Was I too hard, was I too scared, was I too cold?
Were you too touchy, bossy, or too much of a mess?
Were you too young for me? Or was it just that I?m too old?
Did I lie? Did you find me out?
Did you yell at me? Did I shout?
Was that what breaking up was all about?
I don?t remember rapture, don?t remember fright.
I don?t remember days that made our lives feel right.
It?s gone. All gone. Each scent, each funny pose, each fight.
But I still love you. My reasons can?t be new.
I don?t remember why I love you, but I do.
