Why do I love you (lyrics)

Pink slips fall from the sky
You're always on my mind
And I--feel like I can't escape anything
These days
I try to write myself away
I try to lock myself inside
You're always on my mind

I wish I didn't dream
Cause it seems it's the only way you have
A hold of me (Don't get over me)

I wish I didn't feel
This way for you
I know if I dream it
Then it is probably true

Why can't I forget you
Why can't I control you
Why can't I be yours
And you let me own you?

Why do you speak back to me?
Why do you fight for me?
And why, oh why?
Why do you love me?

You have this funny way of
Talking in squares
I wish I was always there
To hear you
You're the only one who makes sense
Without seeming to make sense
You're the only one
I wish that I could think of like this
My head it spins around
And I fall into you
My heart it wins
Only when I sleep you know


Why can't I write these things?
About things that make sense?
Why can't I speak in circles?
Instead of your non-sense
Why do
I love to hear your voice
Why do
I love to be around you
Why do
I love to see your face
Why do I need to feel you here
Right here

I should've known you were no good for me
The second I thought you were good for me
I should've known that this would wind up bad
The second I knew that you could never hurt me
You'd never hurt me

Why can't I control you?
Why can't I just own you?
Why can't I leave you behind?
Why can't I make sense of
Everything that I've kept up
That I've kept up

Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do I love you?

Pink slips fall from the sky
I ask myself why does everything
Have to become a sign?

Why can't I control you?
Why won't you let me own you?
Why do I think myself to death?

Why do I want to know you?
You know you're the only one who
Seems to own my mind

I could say heart, but I'd be lying
My heart's not in charge, not this time

You're not allowed to
Cloud everything I do

Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Oh, why?

You tell me I'm beautiful
You make it clear, you know
You make me smile and you try
You don't like the simple things
You speak for hours rambling
And most people can't stand by

Why do I love you?
Why can you control me to?
Why can you own me like you do?
Why do I love you?
Why is everything you
Forged into replay
In my mind

Let me clarify
You haven't won this time
Why do I love you?
I don't know
I will never back down
I won't let you know
What I find out
I will keep it pent up
No matter what

I only I know
Only I don't know

Why do I love you?
Maybe it's because...
You love me.
