[Verse 1] I keep the one I love at bay Though I just want you near Our hearts, they meet, then turn away I won't admit my fear No I can't see myself In love at all I'm scared of us I hear you call Deaf ears they fall I know that I can be better But I don't know where to start I want to tell you I love you But it just tears me apart [Chorus] Why? Why? [Verse 2] The things I say and do conflict You try to understand I tell you go and leave me be But then extend my hand I know that I can do better Because I don't want us to part I have to tell you that I love you But it just tears me apart [Chorus] Why? Why? Why?
