Why Lyrics - Singles - Lindy Lafontaine

You made me lie to you 

You were perfect for me you were beautiful, and you knew 

You made me high, 

I closed my eyes 

I'd never felt this afraid of myself before 

So I shut you right out of myself till I couldn't feel anymore 

I closed my eyes, 

I told you lies 

I've been pulling away from you baby and, 

I've been building these walls all around us and, 

I've been waiting for so long to understand... 

Why I never looked in your eyes 

Why these thoughts just terrify me 

I loved you but didn't know why 

Left in the love I created I let you let me go 

It took me till now just to notice I left you a long time ago 

I closed my eyes, 

I told you lies 

Cause you couldn't see me from where you stand 

I could have been right there at your command 

And it's taken me so long to understand 

Why I never looked in your eyes 

Why these thoughts just terrify me 

I loved you but didn't know why 

One time I was told to never ask why 

Then I didn't know that it would change my life 

And now I know I was wrong 

You said that I wasn't very nice to you 

And I, I saw everything I put you through 

Then one day I found out why 

Cause you couldn't see me from where you stand 

I could have been right there at your command 

And it's taken me so long to understand...
