Do I have to stay?
Hate the sound of one more pound
As it rolls away

Why did I need your proof?
When I knew the truth

[chorus]
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried

I don’t want to know your game
Let alone her name
No matter what you say to me
We are not the same

Why do you make me cry?
Try to justify
Don't right your wrong with my mistakes
Cause my head's held high

[chorus]
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried

[chorus]
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried

(guitar solo)

Dreams we have as kids all fade away
Now its not the same

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
And I don’t know why
I just let it slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried

[chorus]
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by
Me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
