IDK Why Lyrics

Verse:

You told me you've made up your mind
About going away for the last time
You promised that you'd stay
For at least one more day
I needed space from you before
Now I feel like I need you more
So with that in mind
I know I was too kind

Pre chorus:

I've listened too long
I took you so wrong
Now I'm just trying to prolong
For when you leave
My heart will grieve
So..

Chorus:

I don't know why
I don't know why
You say these things
I don't know why
I don't know why
Our hearts don't sing
Anymore
Must be something before
I met you
Verse 2:

We had something from the start
Now you're trying to trick my heart
Make it believe it still has sparks
But there's no ignition it's still in park

Pre chorus:

I would just say bye
But now I'm so high
I can't function accordingly
Why didn't we try
To fix each other lives
Instead of breaking them in two
So

Chorus:

I don't know why
I don't know why
You say these things
I don't know why
I don't know why
Our hearts don't sing
Anymore
Must be something before
I met you
Bridge:

The days have no numbers
When you're gone
And you haven't come over
In so long
So

Chorus:

I don't know why
I don't know why
You say these things
I don't know why
I don't know why
Our hearts don't sing
I don't know why
I don't know why
You say these things
I don't know why
I don't know why
Our hearts don't sing
Anymore
Must be something before
I met you
