Wondering Why
Anders Johansson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe it's the matter of time
Maybe it's a question of faith
Maybe that's the way the cards fall
Maybe it's still not too late
Neither one of us wants to go through this
And maybe we will never know what the truth is

But if you're wondering why
You're feeling empty inside
And if you're wondering why
Then maybe this is aint right

Tell me was it something I did
Tell me is it something I said
Tell me what you feel in your heart
?
And I don't wanna be sitting here waiting
And something's telling me that I should'nt give it

But if you're wondering why
You're feeling empty inside
And if you're wondering why
Then maybe this is aint right

But if you're wondering why
You're feeling empty inside
And if you're wondering why
Then maybe this is aint right

Maybe we're both better of in the lone love
But to me it seems like the heartache has just begun

But if you're wondering why
You're feeling so empty inside
And if you're wondering why
Then maybe this is'nt right

But if you're wondering why
You're feeling empty inside




And if you're wondering why
Then we should end this tonight
