That's Why

(album: Confessions Of A Nice Girl - 2010)

I'm trying not to break down and cry
Alone, confused, used, unsatisfied
If I could read your heart, if I could read your mind
What would I see, what would you see, would you still be gone tonight

What did I do but love you,
What did I do but love you

That's why you don't make no sense
That's why you just can't pretend
I'd never thought I'd be here again
That's why
That's why you don't fall in love
That's why you give just enough
So you can pick yourself back up when he says goodbye
That's why

I take a step and try to get it right
I breathe a deep breath and close my eyes
And then I see your face, and then I hear your voice
It's a tragedy and a mystery why you made that choice

What did I do but love you,
What did I do but love you

That's why you don't make no sense
That's why you just can't pretend
I'd never thought I'd be here again
That's why
That's why you don't fall in love
That's why you give just enough
So you can pick yourself back up when he says goodbye
That's why, that's why

What did I do but love you,
What did I do but love you, love you, love you

That's why you don't make no sense
That's why you just can't pretend
I'd never thought I'd be here again
That's why
That's why you don't fall in love
That's why you give just enough
So you can pick yourself back up when he says goodbye
That's why

Why, why
That's why
