Why can't only things be like they were

It's not the same when I no long can speak to her

I may be changed but so have she

It's like we're prisoners and we just can't get free

I see her eyes the same old eyes 

But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die



I got a life on my own 

I have to be on my own sometimes

I have to stand on my own two feet's and I know I treat her good

But why do we always fight

I can't look at you

I can't be with you tonight

And I know that this ain't right

Because I love you so but I have to go alone



Why can't only I for one just be

It's not the same when I no long can speak to him

I may be changed but so have he

It's like we've locked us up and thrown away the key

I see your smile the same old smile

But then he takes me down and make our feelings die



I got a life on my own

I have to be on my own sometimes

I have to stand on my own two feet's cause I know I treat him good



But why do we always fight

I can't look at you

I can't be with you tonight

And I know that this ain't right

Because I love you so but I have to go alone
