Do I have to stay? 

Hate the sound of one more pound 

As it rolls away 



Why did I need your proof? 

When I knew the truth 



[chorus] 

And I don't know why 

I just let it slip by 

Me all the time 

I just wish you'd have tried 



I don't want to know your game 

Let alone her name 

No matter what you say to me 

We are not the same 



Why do you make me cry? 

Try to justify 

Don't right your wrong with my mistakes 

Cause my head's held high 



[chorus] 

And I don't know why 

I just let it slip by 

Me all the time 

I just wish you'd have tried 



[chorus] 

And I don't know why 

I just let it slip by 

Me all the time 

I just wish you'd have tried 



(guitar solo) 



Dreams we have as kids all fade away 

Now its not the same 



[guitar solo] 



[chorus] 

And I don't know why 

I just let it slip by 

Me all the time 

I just wish you'd have tried 



[chorus] 

And I don't know why 

I just let it slip by 

Me all the time 

I just wish you'd have tried
