lyrics

Don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'd have to think about it

I'm sure he fits just right
Night after magic night
Much better than I ever could,
I suppose...

So tell me why
Am I wondering what she's doing tonight?
Tell me why
Am I drinking her off my mind?
Tell me why
Are her messages still in my phone?
Tell me why
Without her, no matter who I'm out with,
I still feel so alone?

I'd stop this backward motion
If I let go of the notion

That happiness I'll never find
Unless she's right here by my side
And somehow life's travails will fall behind,
I suppose...

So tell me why
Am I wondering what she's doing tonight?
Tell me why
Am I drinking her off my mind?
Tell me why
Are her pictures still in my phone?
Tell me why
Without her, no matter who I'm out with,
I still feel so alone?

I should be living like a king
So many fish in this vast sea

And not give up on life too soon
Measured out in coffee spoons
Embittered, facing self-inflicted doom
I suppose...

So tell me why
Am I wondering what she's doing tonight?
Tell me why
Am I drinking her off my mind?
Tell me why
Are her messages still in my phone?
Tell me why
Without her...
