Lyrics
I told you I love you
But that's not good enough these days
I told you I need you
But the road still calls your name
And I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense to me
No I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense to me
I used to think that I was drowning
In my own dark and shallow grave
But then I crawled out and started walking
Only to have you drive away
And I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense to me
No I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense at all
I'm all alone again
And it's not what I had in mind
I'm on my own again
And the only cure is time
And I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense to me
No I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense at all
You tell me you love me
But on the phone it's not the same
You tell me you need me
So why you just so far away
Well, I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense to me
No I don't know why
It doesn't make any sense at all
