Why

You made me lie to you
You were perfect for me you were beautiful, and you knew

You made me high,
I closed my eyes

I'd never felt this afraid of myself before
So I shut you right out of myself till I couldn't feel anymore

I closed my eyes,
I told you lies

I've been pulling away from you baby and,
I've been building these walls all around us and,
I've been waiting for so long to understand...

Why I never looked in your eyes
Why these thoughts just terrify me
I loved you but didn't know why

Left in the love I created I let you let me go
It took me till now just to notice I left you a long time ago

I closed my eyes,
I told you lies

Cause you couldn't see me from where you stand
I could have been right there at your command
And it's taken me so long to understand

Why I never looked in your eyes
Why these thoughts just terrify me
I loved you but didn't know why

One time I was told to never ask why
Then I didn't know that it would change my life
And now I know I was wrong
You said that I wasn't very nice to you
And I, I saw everything I put you through
Then one day I found out why

Cause you couldn't see me from where you stand
I could have been right there at your command
And it's taken me so long to understand...
