Melissa Ferrick Who Knows Why Lyrics

The only way in
Is through
And I am trying
To get through
But being alone
Is harder than it sounds
There's nothing to do
And no one to talk to

So I lean on distractions
I get out by going out
And sooner or later
I'll just start laughing
And I don't even know
What I'm laughing about

So if I were me
Lookin' in on me
I'd say stay home
I'd say why don't you stop
Answering the phone
I'd say you know looking doesn't
Look good at all
Haven't you ever heard it's when
You're not looking
That you fall

Who knows why
Things end up the way they do
Who knows why
I'm laying here
Looking up at you
I can see you searching my face
For a little bit of that "girl on the stage"
And is she is dying to find someone
Who doesn't know here name
So I'm secretly hoping
That you will call me up again
My old friend
'Cause you were the one who loved me
For who I really am
You were the one who carried me
To the bathroom
When I was at my end
You know sometimes I wish
We could just
Fall in love again
