"We Do It But Never Know Why" lyrics

"We Do It But Never Know Why"

Don't say that we can't
Just when we were getting near
Don't ask where it went
We're right here

Were you really best with me?
Was I better off with you?
Was this more than just
Making do?

What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely
What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely

Always looked for something
Something making it enough
Stay and let us find
If that's us

What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely
What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely

Holding onto whatever is making us try
Say we're better together, then let it pass by

We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why

Always somewhere near
Always somewhere further on
What if it was here
All along?

This time we'd do better
Let us try and find out how
If there's half a chance
Tell me now

What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely
What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely

Holding onto whatever is making us try
Say we're better together, then let it pass by

We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why
We do it but never know why

So could it really be
You're thinking what I'm thinking?
It's like when you take a mirror away
And the room looks strange
Just say the word and we try again tomorrow
'Cause you know what they say
The thing about looking backwards is
You know what you're going to see

What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely
What'll it be?
Just let me know
Say the word and we'll never be lonely
