Why can't only things Be like they were It's not the same when I now look and speak to her. I've may be changed But so have she It's like we're prisoners and we just can't get free I see her eyes The same old eyes But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die I got a life on my own I have to be on my own sometimes I have to stand on my own two feet's And I know I treat her good.
Chorus: But why do we always fight I can't look at you I can't be with you tonight And I know that this ain't right Because I love you so but I have to go alone.
2. Why can't only I For one just be It's not the same when I now look and speak to him. I've may be changed But so have he It's like we've locked us up and thrown away the key. I see your smile The same old smile But then he takes me down and makes our feelings die. I got a life on my own I have to be on my own sometimes I have to stand on my own two feet's 'Couse I know I treat him good.
