I walked the streets I saw you there
I said "Hi", why did you think I wouldn't dare
How did it get much too loud?

And how come I lost your face in the crowd?

Why try?

Why cry?
Why, why is it hard to comprehend
I wasn't meant to hold your hand?


Both you and I need some rest
But why good bye, why do you think that's the best?


Why try?
Why cry?

Why, why is it hard to comprehend
I wasn't meant to hold your hand?


Don't tell me you needed space
I gave you my nights and days
Now bitterness only stays


Why try?
Why cry?

Why, why is it hard to comprehend
I wasn't meant to hold your hand?
