Lyrics
Written by: Matthew Krahula
Well if you say you love me
than it must be true
Cause why would you lie when there's nothing to prove
Why would you lie when you know that there's nothing to lose
Well if I can see God
You know he can see me
And we'll walk through the valley
We'll wade in the sea
And I'll whisper your name like the wind
Blows through the trees
Singing
Why Don't You love me?
Why Don't You cry?
Why don't you hold me?
When we say goodnight
When we say goodnight
Well if you wander with me
through heaven or hell
I'll kneel at the alter
with blood in my mouth
and I'll ask for forgiveness
for every day leading to now
Oh if you can't forgive me
I'll know its my fault
and I'll choke on a bullet
throw a stake through my heart
and I'll stand in the distance
while you're at the end of the bar
Singing
Why Don't You love me?
Why Don't You cry?
Why don't you hold me?
When we say goodnight
When we say goodnight
If you've got the reasons
I'll give you my time
and I'll stop every season
I'll spend every dime
and I'll give you the world
as long as I'm not left behind
Singing
Why Don't You love me?
Why Don't You cry?
Why don't you hold me?
When we say goodnight
When we say goodnight
