Don't Know Why
The Know How Lyrics

Just when I thought things cold never be better, she broke the news; I tried writing her a letter.
Just when I thought everything was going well, she broke up with me. I tried to reach out to her, but my attempts to communicate were unsuccessful.

But as time passed on I knew that it was of no use, she doesn't want me, now I'm so damned confused.
As time went on, I realized that there was no point in trying to get back together with her. She has clearly moved on, and I am left feeling lost and unsure of myself.

The hopes and dreams I planned for us have quickly gone and bit the dust. They say things turn out for the best. This life I own is a fucking mess.
All of the plans and aspirations I had for our future together have fallen apart, and life seems to be in shambles. People say that everything happens for a reason, but right now I can't see any rhyme or reason to what's going on.

I will go on, I won't give up, please be a dream, I can't wake up.
Even though things are difficult right now, I am determined to keep moving forward. I almost wish that this was all just a nightmare, but I have to face reality and keep going.

My life is such a joke to me, and everyone is laughing.
I feel like a total failure, and it seems like everyone else is getting a good laugh at my expense.

I knew that I should have stayed. Things would be better if I hadn't ever gone away. It always hurt to say good-bye, but now I know your tears were full of lies.
Looking back, I realize that I made a mistake by leaving her. If I had stayed, maybe things would have turned out differently. Her tears when we said our goodbyes were just a show, and I feel foolish for believing them.

Remember the time we would play that game, where I tried to get you to play in the rain? I gave you a piggyback ride to keep your feet dry. What's so wrong with being such a decent guy?
I have fond memories of our time together, like playing in the rain and being chivalrous by giving her a piggyback ride. I don't understand why being a gentleman seems to be unattractive to some people.

Don't know why you wasted my time, Don't know why I called you mine. Don't know why you hurt me so bad. Don't know why I made you sad.
I don't understand why she led me on and made me feel like we had a future together. It hurts to think about how much she hurt me, and I feel guilty for any pain that I caused her.

Don't know why you're still in my thoughts. Don't know why were ever fought. Don't know why things ever did end. Don't know why we were even best friends.
I can't explain why she still occupies so much of my thoughts, or why we even had this falling out. I'm struggling to come to terms with why our relationship had to end, and why we weren't able to salvage our friendship.

When we'd get off the phone, I'd wait to hear what you'd say. You'd say that you loved me, what does that mean anyway? You act like a stranger, like I don't know who you are. When we look at each other in your eyes I see your heart.
I used to treasure the sweet nothings she'd whisper to me on the phone, but I don't understand what 'I love you' really entails. It feels like she's a completely different person now, and I'm struggling to reconcile the new version of her with the old. However, when I look into her eyes, I can see the depth of her emotions.
