If They Say Why

Letra

[Verse 1] You said you’d stay, then changed the door Left your coffee by the sink, walked out without a word I read the note beneath the glass Three crooked lines explaining nothing about the past [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning every sentence over Looking for the place I missed Was it fear, was it pride, was it over Or was I never part of this? [Chorus] If they say why, why Tell him that it’s human nature Why, why Did he do me that way? If they say why, why Tell him I was more than patient Why, why Did he throw it all away? [Verse 2] Your sister called around noon Said you were tired, said you needed room But room became a locked-up year And every answer disappeared when I got near [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning every promise over Like a key that doesn’t fit Was it fear, was it pride, was it over Or did he never mean a bit? [Chorus] If they say why, why Tell him that it’s human nature Why, why Did he do me that way? If they say why, why Tell him I was more than patient Why, why Did he throw it all away? [Bridge] I don’t need a perfect reason I don’t need him to pretend Just tell him I survived the leaving And I won’t wait for him again [Final Chorus] If they say why, why Tell him that it’s human nature Why, why Did he do me that way? If they say why, why Tell him I was more than patient Why, why I’m not calling back today [Outro] Why, why That’s all I wanted him to say
