[Verse 1]
You keep on walking so you don't fall down
It's the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can't be found
It's the same old story
Oh, but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can, oh
It's alright, because I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
[Chorus]
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
[Verse 2]
My friends keep falling and they can't get up
It's the same old story
Well one says white and the other one black
It's the same old story
And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
It's alright, because I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
[Chorus]
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
[Bridge]
Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
Makes me wonder why
[Chorus]
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
[Verse 3]
You keep on looking for that higher ground
It's the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It's the same old story
Oh, but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can, oh
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
[Chorus]
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
[Outro]
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why
