"Why" lyrics

"Why"

Maybe it's a blessing, a blessing in disguise
I know I'll feel better someday
But right now I'm
Standing in the doorway
I'm slumped against the door frames
Waiting for you to leave before I cry again
Why can't I tell you a thing?
And why do you always think the worst of me, babe?

And once I was your love and once you was my heart
And there was only you now
Wondering where you are
So what did I say?
When did your heart change?
When did you grow so cold and hard babe?
Why can't I tell you a thing?
And why do you always think the worst of me, babe?

Darling I
Just don't understand
What you think that you're gonna find in a man

Maybe it's a blessing
I don't know
Never find out 'til you pack your things and go
So why can't I tell you a thing?
And why do you always think the worst of me, babe?
