I don’t know why …

Lyrics — I don’t know why …

Verse 1
It’s true, I should have known better …
Memories of you keep playing in my head
Not believing, these dreams would ever end
Never believed that you wouldn’t be near
Not knowing endless tears could fall

Chorus
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t feel your love fading away
Like when you’re having a bad dream
Not knowing how it ends —
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t see, there would be a day
When you can’t pretend anymore
Knowing there won’t be more

Verse 2
It’s true, I should have known better …
Can’t forget the times you held my hand in yours
Guiding me to places where the stars all explode
Not knowing heaven could blind you so
Never thought my heart could be so broken

Chorus
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t feel your love fading away
Like when you’re having a bad dream
Not knowing how it ends —
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t see, there would be a day
When you can’t pretend anymore
Knowing there won’t be more

Bridge
I never knew a day would come ….
(short instrumental)
Not knowing agony could cut so deep …
(short instrumental)
Not believing that dreams would ever end
Never believed that you wouldn’t be near
Not knowing a heart could be so sad

Chorus
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t feel your love fading away
Like when you’re having a bad dream
Not knowing how it ends—
It’s true, I don’t know why
I didn’t see, there would be a day
When you can’t pretend anymore
Knowing there won’t be more.
