Why - James LaBrie

New day, but the same routine

Is our engine almost running out of steam?

But we pretend that we don’t see the ugly truth

Crazy that we drag this on

When it’s crystal clear that the fire’s gone

There’s nothing left but heavy scars for us to wear

But here we are, lost in the dark

Drifting apart

So tell me why, why are we wasting our time

Are we that scared of goodbye

That we’d rather be living a lie?

Tell me why can’t we move on with our lives

If there was ever a chance

Guess it disappeared

Slipped through our hands

It’s come and gone ain’t coming back

Don’t hold your breath

Now we’re just a masquerade

Stuck in a make believe, 'cause we’re too afraid

We’re running from reality to a dead end

So here we are lost in the dark

Drifting apart

So tell me why, why are we wasting our time

Are we that scared of goodbye

That we’d rather be living a lie?

Tell me why can’t we move on with our lives

How can we demagnetize

Pull apart and break the lies for good

Feels like it’s impossible

To walk away when I know that I should

So tell me why, why are we wasting our time

Are we that scared of goodbye

That we’d rather be living a lie?

Tell me why can’t we move on with our lives

So tell me why, why are we wasting our time

Are we that scared of goodbye

That we’d rather be living a lie?

Tell me why can’t we move on with our lives
