Why (Live)

[Verse 1]
Half a bottle down, a mile out of town and it hits me
Everything I'd come to love was comin' back to get me
Blue light in the rearview left me with a clear view unloaded
Got a lot of love, but I don't really know how to show it

[Pre-Chorus]
And I grew on my own, I told you so
I did not need someone to hold
Back my heart the way you've done
And you were doin'

[Chorus]
But why can't I be someone else tonight?
I'd give anything to make this right
And you don't know what you've been missin', babe
So won't you turn off the lights and come back inside
And then you'd find you'd rather not

[Verse 2]
Back into the black, I was ready for somebody different
Rememberin' these days as much as I'm forgettin'
If you're losin' tracks, steppin' back and you know it
Count up all your friends, is there anybody left to ignore this?

[Chorus]
But why can't I be someone else tonight?
And I'd give anything to make this right
And you don't know what you've been missin', babe
So won't you turn off the lights and come back inside
And then you'd find you'd rather not

[Bridge]
And I will hold my breath until I cannot anymore
And why do I pray to a God that I know I can't afford?
Am I wrong to be confused if I am still in love with you?
Am I wrong to feel anything at all?

[Chorus]
But why can't I be someone else tonight?
I'd give anything to make this right
'Cause you don't know what you've been missin', babe
So won't you turn off the lights and come back inside
Turn off the lights and come back inside
Turn off the lights and come back inside
And then you'd find you'd rather not know why
