Lyrics
VERSE 1
You were walking all alone when I saw you yesterday
Can you tell me why you smiled as you tried to look away
VERSE 2
It's been a long long time, has it been that long for you
Tell me everything that's changed, tell me everything that's new
PRE-CHORUS
When you lie awake at night do you think of me
When it all starts coming back what do you see
CHORUS
Don't ask me what's wrong just try to play along
'Cause I don't want to have to say it's you
Don't ask me why, it's burried deep inside
And I don't want to have to say it's you
BRIDGE
I turned my back on you when you asked if I would stay
Do you have to find out why or walk away
VERSE 3
Well it's getting kind of late and I'm sure you've got to go
If you were to stay...well I guess we'll never know
PRE-CHORUS 2
I left it up to you to figure out
You always wanted me to let it out
CHORUS
Don't ask me what's wrong just try to play along
'Cause I don't want to have to say it's you
Don't ask me why, it's burried deep inside
And I don't want to have to say it's you
Don't ask me why, it's burried deep inside
And I don't want to have to say it's you
