Don’t Ask Me Why

Painting perfect pictures
On the canvas in her head
A sea of expectations
Get ready, get set

Let's go to where you are
I wonder where we are

Outside our doors there's thunder
And in here we think it's safe
So many nights I wonder
If the lightning strikes I'll be alright
At least I'll rest in peace tonight

I wonder where you are
This time you've gone too far

Don't you ask me why when I've said that I do
And you don't have to cry a million times
Words can hurt, but they carry their weight in gold

The weight of hearts of people today on my shoulders
If I could turn back and show you the way I used to hold her
Then maybe I could see the way my life used to be
She is thinking of her, and all I'm thinking about is me
