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 yeah
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
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
You cannot take it with you when you die
