Why can't only things
Be like they were
It's not the same when I now look and speak to her.
I've may be changed
But so have she
It's like we're prisoners and we just can't get free
I see her eyes
The same old eyes
But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die
I got a life on my own
I have to be on my own sometimes
I have to stand on my own two feet's
And I know I treat her good.
Chorus:
But why do we always fight
I can't look at you I can't be with you tonight
And I know that this ain't right
Because I love you so but I have to go alone.
2. Why can't only I
For one just be
It's not the same when I now look and speak to him.
I've may be changed
But so have he
It's like we've locked us up and thrown away the key.
I see your smile
The same old smile
But then he takes me down and makes our feelings die.
I got a life on my own
I have to be on my own sometimes
I have to stand on my own two feet's
'Couse I know I treat him good.
