But those blessings turn to regret from all the things you put me through
I remember at night you used to hold me till the sun rose the next day
Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display
And I say...
[Chorus:]
Why should I cry one more night?
Why should I smile when it hurts inside?
Why does my heart say, get up and walk away
Why do I stay?
Why, why, why
[Repeat]
There's a reason why I cry every day
There's a reason why things don't go your way
There's a reason why I kneel down in pray
There's a reason why I'm still around today
Can't you see that I'm hurtin' eternally?
I need affection and good Lord therapy
I need you know as an urgent delivery
To get rid of the pain inside of me
[Chorus 2x]
Why should I put up lies?
Am I afraid to say goodbye?
I've loved you so, baby I can't deny
But now it's time to dry my eyes
It's Hard to think of what was changed when I feel like it was all in vain
Can't be right and feel this wrong
This heart of mine is just...
[Chorus 3x]
There's a time I felt I was blessed To be loved by you But those blessings turn to regret from all the things you put me through I remember at night you used to hold me till the sun rose the next day Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display And I say... [Chorus:] Why should I cry one more night? Why should I smile when it hurts inside? Why does my heart say, get up and walk away Why do I stay? Why, why, why [Repeat] There's a reason why I cry every day There's a reason why things don't go your way There's a reason why I kneel down in pray There's a reason why I'm still around today Can't you see that I'm hurtin' eternally? I need affection and good Lord therapy I need you know as an urgent delivery To get rid of the pain inside of me [Chorus 2x] Why should I put up lies? Am I afraid to say goodbye? I've loved you so, baby I can't deny But now it's time to dry my eyes It's Hard to think of what was changed when I feel like it was all in vain Can't be right and feel this wrong This heart of mine is just...
