Kelly Collins — I Don't Know Why lyrics

Lyrics

He said, «Don't you turn your back on me»
As I turned and walk away
I said, «There's so much more to this than that, know that I can’t stay»
It’s about a lifetime, it’s about just one mistake
If I stayed here I would blame you too
That’s a choice that I can’t make
He said this pride would leave me broken
Like a fool, that would never ever learn
And the wounds, they would all remain wide open
And in time, the bridges would get burned
I said, «I don’t know why»
And I don’t know why
I said, «Damn, your love and laughter, take them with you when you go»
Leave me in the wreckage, I’ll be better off alone
Could you spare us both the tears?
'Cause I can’t feel your pain
Save your breath about regrets, 'cause it would not change a thing
She said, «This pride has left you broken
Like the dream of a fool, that would never ever learn
And the wounds of the past remain wide open
As I stood on the edge and watched these bridges burn
I just watched it burn
And I don’t know why
And in the end, my pride was broken
Like the dream of a fool, who’d never ever learn
And the wounds of the past remain wide open
As I stood on the edge and watched that river burn
I just watched it burn
And I don’t know why
I just stood on the edge and watched it burn
And I don’t know why
