Why?

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.

I can rememer that day as clear as if it were happening right now.
I told you the truth, and you freaked out.
You took me aside and told me it wasn't going to work out.
And all I remember from then on were the tears streaming down my face.

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.

Now she's hurt you, I knew it would happen.
It was all a matter of when and how.
So we're both alone again, sitting by ourselves again.
But I want to know how she could do that to you, and why she would.

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.

So we sit by ourselves, in our own little corners.
We wait for the other to come and make amends.
But we both know its not going to happen on its own.
We have to make it happen, make it work.

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.

I'll pass you in the halls, just walk right on by,
And I don't know why it had to end this way, why we had to fall apart.
Why you left me for telling the truth, why you flipped out when I needed you.
Why can't you understand my need for a stone wall? Why I needed you?

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.

Fine, go on ahead. Walk by me like we never had anything at all.
Pass me by as if I don't exist, don't even say hi to me.
I guess it's just one of those things that will heal with time,
But the day when I'm fully healed is a long ways away.

And I'm sitting here, lost amongst my thoughts,
Wondering why I let you get away.
Why I didn't chase after you,
Why I'm still alone here, waiting for you to come running back to me.
