shye. & Nikita Afonso - Why Can't I? (Act II)

Broke it off last year, and my mother still asks me how you've been
Trying hard to forget but it's hard when I keep running into your friends
I avoid all my usual places, hiding from the familiar faces
All the words that I'm holding onto, in a letter that I'll never send
Yeah it's over and I'm happy now
Still wonder how it happened
Ain't it funny no one's asked me how I am
I'm not saying that you're cold
That I couldn't feel your love
I just knew that there was more
Wanted more than just enough
I know your heart is made of gold
Maybe mine is full of dust
All these questions getting old
Well, if they love you so much, then why can't I
Why can't I
I don't wanna be the bad guy, one to say goodbye, but you did it first
Yeah, I'm fine, I've been moving on, but every now and then, it still hurts
I avoid all my usual places, hiding from the familiar faces
All these things that I'm wishing that you said, kept me hanging on to these words
Well it's over, are you happy now
Stuck wondering how it happened
Ain't it funny no one's asked me how I am
I'm not saying that you're cold
That I couldn't feel your love
I just knew that there was more
Wanted more than just enough
I know your heart is made of gold
Maybe mine is full of dust
All these questions getting old
Well, if they love you so much, then why can't I
Why can't I
Tell me why can't I love you the way that I'm supposed to
Tell me why can't you get me to stay
Told you I couldn't love you any more than what I showed you
Tell me why would I throw this away
I'm not saying that you're cold
That I couldn't feel your love
Never thought there could be more
You were more than just enough
I know your heart is made of gold
Maybe mine is full of dust
All these questions getting old
Well, if they love you so much, then why can't I
Why can't I
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Why can't I
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't I
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Why can't I
Tell me why, tell me why can't you
Tell me why, tell me why
