The last time we said goodbye

I could see there was something in your eyes

That you were trying your best to disguise

But there’s no denying it

Cos I could see the hello of your hips

As you wiggled away on a passing ship

From this stormy port and my slippery grip

The ballast gone awry

But I know why (why)

Why we ask for truth when we want the lie

Why (why)

Why we never miss it till it’s running dry

Why (why)

Why we scream and shout when we wanna cry

I know why (why) but I don’t know why

Say what you will about Jack and Jill

They’ve got the best damn slam-dance on the hill

When it’s ready to drop they’ll be doing it still

No matter what the price

So tell me why (why)

Why we say we can’t if we never try

Why (why)

Why we still get wounded just from walking by

Why (why)

Why we scream and shout when we wanna cry

I know why (why) but I don’t know...
