Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

Who Knows Why

The only way in

Is through

And I am trying

To get through

But being alone

Is harder than it sounds

There's nothing to do

And no one to talk to

So I lean on distractions

I get out by going out

And sooner or later

I'll just start laughing

And I don't even know

What I'm laughing about

Who knows why

Things end up the way they do

Who knows why

I'm laying here

Looking up at you

I can see you searching my face

For a little bit of that "girl on the stage"

And is she is dying to find someone

Who doesn't know here name

So if I were me

Lookin' in on me

I'd say stay home

I'd say why don't you stop

Answering the phone

I'd say you know looking doesn't

Look good at all

Haven't you ever heard it's when

You're not looking

That you fall

Who knows why

Things end up the way they do

Who knows why

I'm laying here

Looking up at you

I can see you searching my face

For a little bit of that "girl on the stage"

And is she is dying to find someone

Who doesn't know here name

So I'm secretly hoping

That you will call me up again

My old friend

'Cause you were the one who loved me

For who I really am

You were the one who carried me

To the bathroom

When I was at my end

You know sometimes I wish

We could just

Fall in love again
