Why Do I

(album: Elsewhere - 2022)

Sometimes I write you letters that you'll never read
When I get to drinking, I get to thinking
I wish you were thinking about me
Sometimes I look for girls that look the way you do
So fucking stupid, started to do it
When I saw you with someone new

It's been 10 months and 20 days
I'm the last thing that's on your brain

So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screaming your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I? Oh!)

Some nights I think about the last time that we talked
Back in November, maybe December
All I remember's that you called me a piece of shit
Said you never wanna see my face again
You regret everything we ever did
You're obviously over it, so over it

So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screaming your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I?)

It's been 10 months and 20 days
I've been wondering the same damn things

So why do I still wake up, 2 in the morning
Cold sweats screaming your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?

(You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't)
So baby, why do I?
