Why can't only things be like they were   It’s not the same when I now look and speak to her   I may be changed but so have she   It’s like we're prisoners and we just can’t get free   I see her eyes the same old eyes    But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die      I got a life on my own    I have to be on my own sometimes   I have to stand on my own two feet’s and I know I treat her good      But why do we always fight   I can’t look at you   I can’t be with you tonight   And I know that this ain't right   Because I love you so but I have to go alone      Why can't only I for one just be   It’s not the same when I now look and speak to him   I may be changed but so have he   It’s like we've locked us up and thrown away the key   I see your smile the same old smile   But then he takes me down and make our feelings die      I got a life on my own   I have to be on my own sometimes   I have to stand on my own two feet’s cause I know I treat him good      But why do we always fight   I can’t look at you   I can’t be with you tonight   And I know that this ain't right   Because I love you so but I have to go alone
