[Intro: Dave Grunewald & Christoph Wieczorek]
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
You cannot take it with you when you die
[Verse 1: Dave Grunewald & Christoph Wieczorek]
Sometimes the things you want the most
Won't happen until the book is closed
I'm losing all I have
But sadly not what I've ever wanted
Tonight everything is over
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek & Marcus Bridge]
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Things have changed; why, oh, why?
I try my best to smile
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Why, oh, why? Yeah
[Breakdown: Christoph Wieczorek & Dave Grunewald]
I'm afraid of getting colder
I am homeless in my home
I'm afraid of getting colder
I am homeless in my home
Miles away from where I was
[Verse 2: Dave Grunewald]
Sometimes the things you want the most
Won't happen until the book is closed
I'm afraid of getting colder
'Cause tonight everything is over
[Chorus: Dave Grunewald, Christoph Wieczorek with Marcus Bridge]
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Clearly, things have changed
'Cause they always do, how can I be sure?
I try my best to smile, to smile
Just for a little while
[Chorus: Christoph Wieczorek, Dave Grunewald & Marcus Bridge]
If I told you reasons why
You would leave, so I chose to lie
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Why, why, why?
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
You cannot take it with you when you die
