Lyrics
On the outside it felt good
Indications said we should
Come together you say ?I know?
Deep inside we find ourselves
Motionless and you can?t help
Wondering why we have to let go
And I can understand how you might feel that way
But I don?t understand
Why we can?t
Leave Well Enough Alone
What happens if we try again?
Question isn?t if but when
Expectations become hollow
I want to believe you when you say
Somehow we will find a way
But I can tell that you don?t think so
And I can understand how you might feel that way
But I don?t understand
Why we can?t
Leave Well Enough Alone
Sometimes when senses overload
All that glitters is not gold
You say this time you?ve been cured
But I see you?re not really sure
But I don?t understand
Why we can?t
Leave Well Enough Alone
