Lyrics
Why© 2009
Music and Lyrics by: Drew Evan Stewart
V1
Why is a common question that I used to ask a lot.
But I was seldom satisfied with the answers that I got.
Like, "Just because; your mother says so!", or "Just because; it is what it is!", or "Just because; some things in this world we aren't meant to understand." but I've always needed more detail than this.
Chorus:
& I wanna know why... you're keeping secrets.
I wanna know why...I'm still in love with you.
I wanna know why I love you. Why I forgive everything you do
& why do you lie when you know that I know the truth.
V2
Why are you so happy sometimes, and then sometimes sad?
Why do you make good love to me & then treat me like I'm bad?
Is it just because, you're a little moody? Is it just because, that's the way you're built?
Or is the reason you don't trust me because you can't trust yourself?
Or are we way past that? Are you carrying some guilt?
Chorus
Bridge
Why you were so unhappy / why did you not come to me?
we'd talk about and work things out for you.
Why'd you climb out on that limb? Why does what you get from him
Seem to be worth, losing me and you?
Chorus
