It's 3 AM and I finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry

Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why

[CHORUS]

Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'

Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you

Oh baby why, do I do that to you

I know I'd never let you walk away

So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside


[CHORUS]
Why does it always have to come down

To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words

That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you


Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you

Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you
