I Can't Tell You Why

from The Girl You Thought You Knew by Mary Scholz

/

lyrics

How many days can I spend walking up to you
Hands on your face as I try to work through
Why I
Always say goodbye

I can see the kindness in your smile
And the gentle way you linger
As you catch me for a while
But I

Don’t want to tell you how I need to turn and run
So just for now can we pretend that I’m the one?


Can you hold me for a day
Knowing I could never stay
Will it break you down inside
After everything I’ve tried
Still it’s always time
To say goodbye
But I can’t tell you why


I still remember when I wanted nothing more
Then spending days curled up beside you on the floor
And I
Can still see why

But I have changed and everything we knew
Is out of focus now and slipping out of view
And I
Can’t understand whatever’s pushing you aside
That doesn’t mean that I don’t miss when you were mine


Can you hold me for a day
Knowing I could never stay
Will it break you down inside
After everything I’ve tried
Still it’s always time
To say goodbye
But I can’t tell you why


Why?
I swear I've tried

Can you hold me for a day
Knowing I could never stay
Will it break you down inside
After everything I’ve tried
Still it’s always time
To say goodbye
I wish I could tell you why

Can you hold me for a day
Knowing I could never stay
Will it break you down inside
After everything I’ve tried
Still it’s always time
To say goodbye
But I can’t tell you why
