You told me I was beautiful 
And held me oh so tight 
So I duett on my ugliness and 
Hid away my light 

Tell me why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 
I wanna know why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 

You said that you'd loved me 
Before you saw my face 
So I waited and watched for 
Another girl to take my place 

Tell me why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 
I wanna know why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 

Tell me I wanna know why 
Tell me I wanna know why 

So much of what I'd hoped for 
I couldn't let it be 
So I made me a world where 
You had to leave 

Tell me why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 
I wanna know why, oh why 
Can't we let the good things in 

I wanna know why 
Tell me I wanna know why 
Tell me I wanna know why 
Tell me I wanna know why 

Can't we let the good things in


To sleep, my love, to sleep
Your precious head on pillows, sweet 
And know that through the night 
My arms will wrap around you tight 
For I wonder at each breath you breathe 
And I cradle every dream you dream

To sleep, my love, to sleep 
Oh deep my love, so deep
