Lyrics

Don't Know Why

Put it all behind you, put it in a song, yeah
I don't want to know about it
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about

Put it on a fire, put it in a pocket

I don't want to see you now
Put it in a picture, hide it in a story
I don't wanna know about

Put it in a picture, hide it in a story
I don't wanna know about
Put it all behind you, put it in a song, yeah
I don't want to know about it (bury all the magic)

Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about (bury all the treasure)
Put it in a picture, hide it in a story
I don't wanna know about (throw away all the poems)

I don't remember much about it all
Just saw you loving someone else
And swallowing that bitter pill
My shabby heart was acting out
You know I don't want no one else

Put it all behind you, put it in a song, yeah
I don't want to know about it
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about
Put it on a fire, put it in a pocket
I don't want to see you now
Put it in a picture, hide it in a story
I don't wanna know about
Put it all behind you, put it in a song, yeah
I don't want to know about it (bury all the magic)
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about (bury all the treasure)
Put it on a fire, put it in a pocket
I don't want to see you now (throw away all the poems)
Put it in a picture, hide it in a story
I don't wanna know about (bury all the magic)
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about
Put it in a corner, somewhere I can't find it
I don't want to think about
