Why, oh, why? (Why, oh, why?)
You cannot take it with you when you die
Sometimes the things you want the most
Won't happen until the book is closed
I'm losing all I have
But sadly not what I've ever wanted
Tonight everything is over
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Things have changed (Why, oh, why?)
I try my best to smile
Why, oh, why? (Why, oh, why?)
Why, oh, why?
I'm afraid of getting colder
I am homeless in my home
I'm afraid of getting colder
I am homeless in my home
Miles away from where I was
Sometimes the things you want the most
Won't happen until the book is closed
I'm afraid of getting colder
'Cause tonight everything is over
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Clearly things have changed
'Cause they always do, how can I be sure?
I try my best to smile (To smile)
Just for a little while
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Why, oh, why? (Why, oh, why?)
Why, why, why?
Why, oh, why? (Why, oh, why?)
You cannot take it with you when you die
