I never thought I would know love the way you do You taught me things in my heart that I never knew, yeah It's just a matter of time till we break through From all the mistakes in my life that weren't true Tell me why can't I Understand the way you're making me feel Could it be that this love is for real And I know you're there inside of my heart Tell me why can't I Give you all the love that you need To protect your heart and not make it bleed I'm the one that wants to make you see I'm always chasing the memories of you Chasing the memories of you But now I see all the times we had are through Stuck in my head wishing that you felt the same The same way Because your hand holding mine is a brighter day Tell me why can't I Be the one that's running through your mind One more new lover until the end of time And that I want to fill the hole in your heart Tell me why can't I Give you all the love that you need To protect your heart and not make it bleed I'm the one that wants to make you see Tell me why can't I Tell me why can't I Tell me why can't I Ooh why can't I Don’t wanna be without you Tell me baby Tell me, why can’t I be the one you love? Tell me why can't I Be the one that's running through your mind One more new lover until the end of time And that I want to fill the hole in your heart Tell me why can't I Give you all the love that you need To protect your heart and not make it bleed I'm the one that wants to make you see Tell me why can't I Tell me why can't I Tell me why can't I Ooh why can't I
