My attitude has been replaced of late
with a steady diet of wine and bad taste.
Spitting out insults but keeping my distance, whisper in my ear,
tell me you’ve missed this.
A head full of headache and “I don’t knows”.
Try so hard to reach me but I’m losing control.
I laugh and I lie with you here in between
Can’t see the world through a rose fractured screen.

Chorus
You can’t know why I’ve acted this way.
I don’t know why you’ve decided to stay.
We won’t know all the things that just may,
but who knows anyway?

Free falling backwards into no-one’s arms,
being nothing new, never coming to harm.
Dreamed out too loud and tripped over my anger,
realising too late Friday night’s lost its flavour

Chorus
You can’t know why I’ve acted this way.
I don’t know why you’ve decided to stay.
We won’t know all the things that just may,
but who knows anyway?

It doesn’t matter anyway, a single word I try to say,
you listen when I call your name.
But then I’m back to nothing.
Half a mile to nowhere but I never seem to get there,
Picking flowers by the roadside,
but end up with magnolias.

You can’t know why I’ve acted this way.
I don’t know why you’ve decided to stay.
We won’t know all the things that just may,
but who knows anyway?
