Why

Keeping my distance

Taking my time

It’s not stopping me from wondering

From wondering why

What were we doing?

How do you sleep at night?

Where were we going?

And when will I know why?

Don’t want your pity

Don’t want your sympathy

You could just

Give me an explanation

Don’t want your love

Or too much of your time

To keep me pacing

Back and forth through your mind

Don’t want your words

Don’t want your advice

Don’t need you taking another piece of my life

Just tell me why

Devil’s in the details

Love is on the line

Awaiting an answer

Tell me why

Through footsteps and fingerprints

Living fairy tail lies

Sifting through your livelihood

To find out why, to find out why

Don’t want your pity

Don’t want your sympathy

You could just

Give me an explanation

Don’t want your love

Or too much of your time

To keep me pacing

Back and forth through your mind

Don’t want your words

Don’t want your advice

Don’t need you taking another piece of my life

Just tell me why

Fortunes framed in fool's gold

Dreams aren't closing my eyes

Sleeping with a pipe dream

I'm just asking why
