Jeffrey Lewis - How can it be

How? How can it be?
How can it be you still love him and not me?
Does it really add up mathematically?
How? How can it be?

Because I'm thinking of how I made you laugh
And I'm thinking of the love that we have
And I'm saying it's a matter of time
How long till you remember you're mine
It don't make it true just cause
It's where you've been sided
It don't make it true just
Cause it's what you've decided
Oh it's the logic that's wrong
Why are you there for so long?
I just can't see nothing else
Except for you and myself

So, how? How can it be?
How can it be you still love him and not me?
Does it really make sense logically?
And does it really make you happy to see?

That now I'm with someone beautiful and cool
And she seems to think the world of me too
And her laughing as we stroll up the street
Until I take her to that joint where I eat

But why are you here now in my restaurant?
And you're with the only one that you want
So I won't be eating here
Or anywhere else I fear
And the girl that's on my arm
Is gonna have to see tears more tears

Because I see her face and it's still my own
How can I ever think
Of something that's gone?
It's just the fact that we're
A match that makes sense
I'll go insane if you still
Claim we'll be friends
And I know you think I'm crazy
And the world thinks it too
But I'm not crazy it's just dumb
To be alive without you

I know you love his looks you love his love
You love his family
But is that really any reason to
Love him instead of me? I can't see

Oh How can it be?
And does it really add up mathematically?
Or should I say it more emphatically?
Consistently or sporadically?
Oh is this really just the way it'll be?
