[Verse 1]
I remember the day I first met you
You really caught my attention
Didn't know I was looking for a rescue
I wasn't thinking that hard
Now and then, I was there in the moment
I was ready for nothing
Doesn't mean that I really didn't love you
While I'm breaking your heart
[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away
[Verse 2]
I feel bad that I let my past hurt you
Cause I really didn't mean to
I was lost, I was lucky you found me
But it only got worse
Right now while you're looking right at me
The emotion still scares me
Doesn't mean that I really didn't love you
When I'm making you hurt
[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away
[Bridge]
I know I want this more than ever
I wish there was another way
You see my words can only hurt you
Till his shadow fades away
[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away
