Don't ask me why I stand aside and watch her break every rule

Why I close my eyes to her schemes and lies and play the part of a fool

Don't ask me why I love her still after all she's done to me 

After deceiving me and leaving me with a heart full of misery

You might as well ask me why I breathe or why I live at all

I only know I must be there to answer if she calls

Don't ask me why I hang around why I keep standing by

But if you want to know I'll say I love her so though I don't know the reason why

[ steel ]

You might as well ask me why I breathe...
