Don'T Ask Why
Hudgens Vanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You really caught my attention
Didn't know I was looking for a rescue
I wasn't thinking that hard
Now and then I was there in the moment
I was ready for nothing
It doesn't mean that I really didn't love you
While I'm breaking your heart
Don't ask why
Before we get too close
Just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question
And I die inside
Just let me walk away
I felt bad that I let my past hurt you
Cause I really didn't mean to
I was lost, I was lucky you found me
But it's got worse
Right now while you're looking right at me
The emotion's so scary
It doesn't mean that I really don't love you
When I'm making you hurt
Don't ask why
Before we get too close
Just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question
And I die inside
Just let me walk away
And I want this more than ever
I wish there was another way
You see, my words can only hurt you
Till his shadow fades away
Don't ask why
Before we get too close
Just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question
And I die inside
Just let me walk away
Just let me walk away
Don't ask why
Before we get too close
Just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question
And I die inside
Just let me walk away

I remember the day I first met you
I recall the day I met you
You really caught my attention
You quickly caught my eye
Didn't know I was looking for a rescue
I wasn't aware that I needed saving
I wasn't thinking that hard
I wasn't overanalyzing the situation
Now and then I was there in the moment
Occasionally, I was living in the present
I was ready for nothing
I wasn't expecting anything serious
It doesn't mean that I really didn't love you
My actions didn't contradict my feelings for you
While I'm breaking your heart
Even though I'm hurting you
Don't ask why
Don't question my motives
Before we get too close
Before we become too intimate
Just let me say goodbye
Let me end things
It's easier this way
It's less complicated like this
Before you ask the question
Before you inquire about my feelings
And I die inside
I feel immense emotional pain
Just let me walk away
Allow me to leave
I felt bad that I let my past hurt you
I regret how my past affected you
Cause I really didn't mean to
It wasn't intentional
I was lost, I was lucky you found me
I was struggling and fortunate to have you in my life
But it's got worse
The situation has deteriorated
Right now while you're looking right at me
At this very moment, while you're staring at me
The emotion's so scary
The intensity of the emotion is overwhelming
When I'm making you hurt
Despite hurting you
And I want this more than ever
I desire this but can't have it
I wish there was another way
I desire a different solution
You see, my words can only hurt you
My words could only cause you pain
Till his shadow fades away
Until the memory of him is gone
Just let me walk away
Allow me to move on
