Jessie J - I'LL NEVER KNOW WHY Lyrics

Jessie J Lyrics

"I'LL NEVER KNOW WHY"

I never walked inside your shoes
I won't pretend what life was like for you
You always kept me close and safe
I wish I could've done the same for you

I wanna tell you everything
I love you and I mean it
But when you left, I lost my peace of mind

How could you say goodbye
Without saying goodbye?
How did I stop and notice
You were lost and hopeless
And we still ran out of time?
I know you must have had your reasons to leave us all behind
I'll never know why

You knew me better than they did
You always took the worst of it alone
You sacrificed so much, I know
A heart of gold but such a tortured soul

I wanna tell you everything
I love you and I mean it
But when you left, I lost my peace of mind

How could you say goodbye
Without saying goodbye?
How did I stop and notice
You were lost and hopeless
And we still ran out of time?
I know you must have had your reasons to leave us all behind
I'll never know why

How could you say goodbye
Without saying goodbye?
How did I stop and notice
You were lost and hopeless
And we still ran out of time?
I just want you to know that you're still loved like you're alive
I wish you knew why
