Tell Me Why

[Verse 1]
It was wildfire dream, it was lightning in a bottle
It was nothing like you’ve ever seen
It was pedal to the metal, it was dancing with the devil
It was better than it should’ve been
And I don’t know where the wheels came off but they did
I can feel is flying off the track
There’s a hole in the bottom of the ship that we’re sinking on
There ain’t no coming back

[Chorus]
I can try to give a little more than I have to give
All I need is a why, just a single damn reason and I’ll give it all
I’ve been beating my head against the wall for weeks now
Looking for a sign that don’t lead to a way out
Not saying goodbye ain’t enough of a reason why
So tell me why

[Verse 2]
Why’s the bed gone cold, why’s the bottle ran dry
Why’s every truth sound like a lie?
The blame gets thrown, the flame won’t light
Why do all good things have to die? '
Cause we’ve been going through hell tryna save ourselves
But it looks like you and me
Ain’t got much left, hanging on by a thread, baby
So what’s it gonna be?

[Chorus]
I can try to give a little more than I have to give
All I need is a why, just a single damn reason and I’ll give it all
I’ve been beating my head against the wall for weeks now
Looking for a sign that don’t lead to a way out
Not saying goodbye ain’t enough of a reason why

[Bridge]
Baby, it’s time to lay it on the line
Are we gonna do or die?
Are we gonna fall or fly?
I ain’t sure what we’re still fighting for
Can’t hold on anymore, waiting on the call

[Chorus]
I can try to give a little more than I have to give
All I need is a why, just a single damn reason and I’ll give it all
I’ve been beating my head against the wall for weeks now
Looking for a sign that don’t lead to a way out
Not saying goodbye ain’t enough of a reason why
So tell me why
