[Verse #1] I wrote you a letter Asked your best friend to send it But took to the sea before you could have read it Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown Extracted my heart while it was still beating But glowing and red And I swear that sweat would Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it [Chorus] I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? [Verse #2] Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest My head made a home for the hum of the insects But my hands shake and shudder at the mention Of half hearted reasons why we'll only be friends [Chorus] I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back? So why don't you love me back?
