Why do I, choose the things I choose
Why do I, always find some lame excuse
Why do I, not realize what I could do
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why

Why do you, get that sad look on your face
Why do you, pull away from my embrace
Why do you, see all my faults and my mistakes
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why

Why do we, treat each other like we do
It's like we never even try
Why can't we, get back to the love we knew
Oh why oh baby why

Why do we, have to play those same old games
Why do we, run away from who's to blame
Can't they see, to lose this love would be ashame
Oh I wish we knew the reason why
Oh I wish we knew the reason why
