Why Lyrics - Ne-yo

I feel a rise burning into the back of my head 

If she could kill me with a look, I'd already be dead 

Excited at the thought of possibly two in my bed 

I said some shit that I instantly regretted I said 

I hid my deception with absolute discretion 

Wanted to turn around and give up an accidental confession 

I turned to look at her and she's just standin' there 

Facial expression says it all, war has been declared 

She said, is there anything you wanna tell me? 

I'm standin' there with my head down and I'm thinkin' 

Oh no, here we go 

What the hell was I thinkin'? Man I wish I was drinkin' 

So I could blame it on the liquor, why did I paint the picture? 

Why did I think it was something that she wouldn't even consider? 

Now I'm avoidin' eye contact as if I owe her money 

Tryna laugh it off, clearly she don't think it's funny 

And then she stepped to me, comin' so steady 

Looked at me like she knew already 

I betrayed her trust, it weighs heavy 

On my head, and then she said 

Why can't I be loved? 

Why can't I feel love? 

Why am I not worthy of 

Oh why can't I feel love?

All she wanted was somethin' real, somethin' true 

With tears in her eyes she said, "I believed in you" 

I said, "Please don't leave, please don't go away" 

She said, "You broke my heart. How could I stay?" 

It'd be a year before I'd see integrity again

I see him, there he is
