#6 LYRICS WHY DO I ASK WHY
VERSE 1
I WAS SITTIN ON A BAR STOOL
LOOKIN LIKE A DAMN FOOL
WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW
TWO HOURS HAS PASSED BY
ASKING MYSELF WHY
I DON'T JUST LET YOU GO
THERES A GIRL SITTING HERE BESIDE ME
SAYING I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE
AND IF I WAS IN YOUR SHOES BABY
I'D TELL HER ASS TO HIT THE DOOR
CHORUS
SO WHY DO I LET YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY
WHY DON'T I LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY
WHY DO I TAKE EVERYTHING IN STRIDE
WHY DON'T I JUST SAY GOODBYE
ITS SOMETHING YOU GOT OVER ME
I NEED TO SET MYSELF FREE
IF I COULD JUST LET GO OF YOU
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK WHY
VERSE 2
I'M GETTIN USED TO YOUR EXCUSES
AND HEARING YOUR ALIBIS
YOUR FRIENDS STICKING UP FOR YOU
FUELING UP YOUR LIES
ITS SOMETHING YOU GOT OVER ME
I NEED TO SET MYSELF FREE
IF I COULD JUST LET GO OF YOU
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK WHY
VERSE 3
THERES NOTHING MORE THAT I WANT FROM YOU
THERES NO NEED FOR YOU TO CALL
NO MORE WAITING FOR TOU TO SHOW
ITS YOUR TURN TO TAKE THE FALL
I'M NOT GONNA GO DOWN THIS WAY
I'M PUTTING BACK UP MY WALL
THERES NOTHING LEFT BETWEEN YOU AND ME
BYE BYE BABY GOODBYE
CHORUS
SO WHY DO I LET YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY
WHY DON'T I LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY
WHY DO I TAKE EVERYTHING IN STRIDE
WHY DON'T I JUST SAY GOODBYE
ITS SOMETHING YOU GOT OVER ME
I NEED TO SET MYSELF FREE
IF I COULD JUST LET GO OF YOU
I WOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK WHY
WHY DO I ASK WHY WHY DO I EVEN TRY
WHY DON'T I JUST WALK AWAY
ITS TIME I SAY GOODBYE
BYE BYE BABY GOODBYE
