Lyrics

Why

The buttons on my phone are worn thin
I don't think that I knew the chaos I was getting in
But I've broken all my promises to you
I've broken all my promises to you

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?

A frozen glance, a single tear
It's harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone
Because these days aren't easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren't easy anymore

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, me, me

I should have known this wasn't real
And fought it off and fought to feel
What matters most?
Everything that you feel while listening
To every word that I sing
I promise you I will bring you home
I will bring you home

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe

Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
