Why

It's been this many years

It's been that many tears

And still have to ask the same question

Why

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When you and me would kiss at night

Remember what we tripped like

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Funny me funny you

Don't have nothing left in common

You wanted me to have your heart

Now you want it back

What about the promise you made to me

That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason

And suddenly we're flying high

Now it's mayday we're falling fast

You're trying to get lost

I'm trying to pull up

And damn I can't say

You said you didn't need me

I really didn't think that you would leave

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When you and me would kiss at night

Remember what we tripped like

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When we were saying things like where have you been all my life

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame

No longer got their respect for me

And don't saying what I'm saying

I know how it feels to be ashamed

Cause when I was young I felt that pain too

And I can't say nothing that would cause you to make a change

And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways

Then who am I fooling

What am I doing thinking you love me

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When you and me would kiss at night

Remember what we tripped like

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When we were saying things like where have you been all my life

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

You would think by this time I would get it right

Know the schemes and the things that make it be right

When you said you could stay no longer

I thought I had just a little more daylight

Like when we use to turn a fight into a good night

I know the things I use to do to make you feel right

I would give anything the fortune I made

To bring back the days that the feeling was so right

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When you and me would kiss at night

Remember what we tripped like

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When we were saying things like where have you been all my life

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When you and me would kiss at night

Remember what we tripped like

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night

When we were saying things like where have you been all my life

Why don't it feel like felt on the first night

Now it's so hard to find two words to say

Why the dreams we had we threw them all away

Why the dreams we had we let them slip away

Why the dreams we had we threw them all away
