Why do you do the things you do
When all that I see to get from you
Is pain and sorrow

Why do I do the things I do
When all that I see to say to you
Can wait till tomorrow

Why do you say the things you say
When talk doesn't seem that far away
It's painful to me

Why do I say the things I say
When I know that we'll go our separate ways
The way it should be

Why can't I see you're not for me
And this is the way life was meant to be
The way life was meant to be
