Why

Half a bottle down, a mile out of town and it hits me

Everything I'd come to love was comin' back to get me

Blue light in the rearview left me with a clear view unloaded

Got a lot of love, but I don't really know how to show it

And I grew on my own, I told you so

I did not need someone to hold

Back my heart the way you've done

And you were doin'

But why can't I be someone else tonight?

I'd give anything to make this right

And you don't know what you've been missin', babe

So won't you turn off the lights and come back inside

And then you'd find you'd rather not

Back into the black, I was ready for somebody different

Rememberin' these days as much as I'm forgettin'

If you're losin' tracks, steppin' back and you know it

Count up all your friends, is there anybody left to ignore this?

But why can't I be someone else tonight?

And I'd give anything to make this right

And you don't know what you've been missin', babe

So won't you turn off the lights and come back inside

And then you'd find you'd rather not

And I will hold my breath until I cannot anymore

And why do I pray to a God that I know I can't afford?

Am I wrong to be confused if I am still in love with you?

Am I wrong to feel anything at all?

But why can't I be someone else tonight?

Oh, I'd give anything to make this right

Oh, I'd give anything to make this right

I'd give anything to make this right
