I would write you a letter, one hundred pages long
I would knit you a sweater, so you could see the time I spent on it
I would make you five dozen cookies, all your favorite kinds
I would wrap them up and send them as fast as I could
So you would get them in time
I don't know why we don't work. I don't know why we don't work.
I don't know why we're still hurting, and why we keep trying long
After it stopped working. It stopped working
I would save you the last dance, I would trip myself to see you smile
I would give this one last chance
If either one of us thought it worthwhile
I would help you sort through the furniture, but I think I'd be in the way
I can't sleep 'cause I miss you, but I'm weak when I'm with you
And I can't say what you want me to say
I don't know why we don't work. I don't know why we don't work.
I don't know why we're still hurting, why we keep trying long
After it stopped working. It stopped working
I would write you that love song, you would finally know how I care
See I was your comfort, but we were both scared, you were my
Everything and this is my prayer
I don't know why we don't work. I don't know why we don't work.
I don't know why we're still hurting, why we keep trying long
After it stopped working. It stopped working.
