Why

(album: Live At Tower Theatre - 2018)

This song's called "Why." If you're ready, I'm ready. okay, good

I saw you downtown, through the glow of my tail lights
You were stopped behind me, and your car caught my eye
I'm glad this light's slow, gives me a chance to catch my breath
Right before I drive away just to forget

Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs, why can't my heart shut its mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?

And I've tried pretty, I tried outgoing and fun
And I've tried intelligent, trust me I tried dumb
I tried wealthy, I've been looked at as a way out
I've tried everything I know to try out

Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs, why can't my heart shut its mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?

Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs, why can't my heart shut its damn mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?
Why can't I fall out of love?
