Lyrics
[Intro]
I want to know why
I want to know
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
[Verse 1]
I never minded calling You a king
If that meant that I could count on You
To give me everything
I never thought to ask You
I always thought You knew
It was never my intention to question You
[Verse 2]
You never minded calling me a child
Well, I guess that's how I acted all the while
But You live through every tantrum
You see through every lie
Though they seem to be more common
I just wanted to know why, oh, why
[Chorus]
Unforgetful You, unforgetful
Unforgetful You, so unforgetful
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
[Verse 3]
You never minded giving us the stars
And then showing us how blind and unaware of You we are
You painted me a picture, and You showed me how to see
But I just won't behold it
Unless it pertains to me
[Chorus]
Unforgetful You, unforgetful
Unforgetful You, so unforgetful
[Bridge]
I want to
I, I want
I want to know why
I want to know why
[Chorus]
Unforgetful You, unforgetful
Unforgetful You, so unforgetful
[Outro]
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
I want to know why
So unforgetful You
