Why

The rain outside is falling

Water fills the streets

And the memories are calling

Out to me

Oh they're calling out to me

You pulled out the driveway

Left with no goodbye

I could hear you crying as you drove away

Asking why

Once again you left asking why

I do the things I do

Why I say the things I say

And why I tell you that I love you

But I treat you this way

Oh if I had the answers

Heaven knows we'd never fuss or fight

But I don't know why

Well I'd never ever hit you

'Cause it ain't how I was raised

But I do a lot of screaming

You're to blame

Oh I'm always screaming you're to blame

For the things I do

For the things I say

And why I tell you that I love you

But I treat you this way

Oh if I had the answers

Heaven knows we'd never fuss or fight

But I don't know why

You'd think by now I'd realize that

Next time might just be the last time

You'd think by now I'd look for help that I'd want some help

Before you find somebody else

Why'd I do the things I do

Why'd I say the things I say

Why do I tell you that I love you

But I treat you this way

Oh if I had the answers

Heaven knows we'd never fuss or fight

But I don't know why

The rain outside is falling

Water fills the streets

As I introduce myself in a room full of strangers

With problems just like me
