Lyrics
You don’t like it in the shad ows,
but you won’t let me shine the light.
I would wash a way your trou bles,
but it seems
the more that I hold on,
the more that you let go.
And I know,
you bet ter let some bod y love you,
or find your self
on your own.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall a part
in your hands,
and my good in ten tions nev er end
the way I meant.
If we don’t talk a bout the fu ture,
then should I just fol low you in to the dark?
Yeah.
And does your si lence keep you cold
while the cracks form
on my heart?
Tell me why
It seems to me some fine friends who watched you turn
your back.
It seems you on ly want the things that you can’t have.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall a part
in your hands,
and my good in ten tions nev er end
the way I meant.
Tell me why all the best laid plans
fall a part
in your hands,
and my good in ten tions nev er end
the way I meant.
Tell me why
