Why

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
