Story Behind The Song
I originally wrote it about the music industry, but as it came together, I realized it sounded more like a lovesong. I was happily in a relationship at the time, but I made it work. You must yield to the hook. :)
Song Description
It's a song of longing, pining, searching - for love or even acceptance. Musically and production-wise it's VERY poppy, almost boy-bandish.

Lyrics
Why
By Mitch Linker
I have done everything right
But here I am alone tonight
It?s gone again and though it?s nothing new
I can?t take the thought of losing you
Why won?t anybody let me in
Let me steal your heart away
Why won?t anybody take a chance
Does it have to be this way
If I just close my weary eyes
Would I see you waving goodbye
No when it?s over you cannot hide
If your eyes are closed or open wide
Won?t you take a look inside
Why won?t anybody let me in
Let me steal your heart away
Why won?t anybody take a chance
Does it have to be this way
There?s so much that I had been hoping to share
But nobody knows and nobody cares
There?s so much of this that I am willing to bear ?cause
I don?t really wanna, I don?t wanna be lonely
I wanna believe in something that?s real
Forget how to love, forget how to feel
But I don?t really wanna, I don?t wanna be lonely
Does anybody wanna try to go and be lonely with me
Why won?t anybody let me in
Let me steal your heart away
Why won?t anybody take a chance
Does it have to be this way
