Why can't only things be like they were It's not the same when I now look and speak to her I 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 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 Why can't only I for one just be It's not the same when I now look and speak to him I 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 make 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 cause I know I treat him good 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
