Who Knows Why Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

One, two, one, two, three

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
I don′t even know what I'm laughing about

Who knows why
Things end up the way they do?
Who knows why?
I'm laying here and looking up at you
I can see you searching my face
For a little bit of that girl on the stage
And she is dying to find someone
Who doesn′t know her name


So if I were me looking 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 know why?
Things end up the way they do?
Who knows why?
I've let myself lay here and looking up at you
I can see you searching my face
For a little bit of that girl on the stage
And she was dying to find someone
Who doesn′t know here name

So I′m secretly hoping that you'll 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
