Reason Why Lyrics - The Byrds

If I was strong then I wouldn't care 

If she was here or she was there 

But I guess I didn't go by the rules 

'cause she really made me look like a fool 

I shouldn't have let it hurt me at all 

'cause I know the price you pay when you fall 

But I couldn't believe it was true 

When she told me we were through 

And the reason why I cry 

I wish I knew

My friends told me about her 

When they saw me hold her hand 

But I didn't think they knew her 

So how could they understand 

I couldn't hear a word they were saying 

'cause inside my head the music was playing 

But I found out it was all true 

When she told me we were through 

And the reason why I cry 

I wish I knew 

I couldn't hear a word they were saying 

'cause inside my head the music was playing 

But I found out it was all true 

When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry 

I wish I knew 

Oh yeah I wish I knew 

Oh yeah I wish I knew
