SHE DON'T KNOW WHY
(Hunter Payne)

She thinks that was all she planned to say
She checks that her bags are in their place
Then tightens her coat around her waist
But she don't know why, she don't know why

She says to him their love was not enough
She hates to let him down, she knows it's kind of rough
All the while there's a twisting in her gut
But she don't know why, she don't know why

Ooh, she don't know why, but she's got to get away
Her hand is reaching for the door
But she don't know why, she don't know why

She turns to him, but he's no longer there
He's back by the bed stuffed in a chair
She starts to go to him, but suddenly she's scared
She don't know why, she don't know why

So she goes through the door knowing they
Haven't said the parts they were supposed to say
She stands there a while, then she walks away
She don't know why, she don't know why

Ooh, she don't know why, but she's got to get away
She's pushing down the corridor
But she don't know why, she don't know why

Down on the street the traffic's crawling
The northeast wind begins to blow
For just a moment she thinks he's calling
That he's not going to let her go

Oh, no, she don't believe he'd ever let her leave
When a dozen times before he's followed her
But upstairs he shuts the door, he don't want this anymore
This time he'll let her get away
