Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw you downtown through the glow of my taillights
You stopped behind me and your car caught my eye
I'm glad this light's slow gives me a chance to catch my breath
Right before I drive away to forget
[Verse 2]
Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs? why can't my heart shut it's mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?
[Verse 3]
And I've tried pretty, I tried outgoing and fun
And I've tried intelligent, trust me I tried dumb
I tried wealthy, I've been looked at as a way out
I've tried everything I know to try out
[Verse 4]
Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs? why can't my heart shut it's mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?
[Verse 5]
Why do I give a damn after everything went south?
Why do I write songs? why can't my heart shut it's damn mouth?
Why can't I move on and give a fair chance to someone new?
Why can't I fall out of love with you?
Why can't I fall out of love?
