Why

You told me I was beautiful
And held me oh so tight
So I duett on my ugliness and
Hid away my light

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

You said that you'd loved me
Before you saw my face
So I waited and watched for
Another girl to take my place

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why

So much of what I'd hoped for
I couldn't let it be
So I made me a world where
You had to leave

Tell me why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why, oh why
Can't we let the good things in

I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why

Can't we let the good things in

To sleep, my love, to sleep
Your precious head on pillows, sweet
And know that through the night
My arms will wrap around you tight
For I wonder at each breath you breathe
And I cradle every dream you dream

To sleep, my love, to sleep
Oh deep my love, so deep
