"Why Why Why" lyrics - THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT

Was a summer's day when you first walked away
At the time I wasn't feeling so bad
You gave me shit while I looked away
Just like every big conversation that we ever had
And you know how a thing like that can be
Such a terrible shame 'cause it makes you feel mean
Your eyes were so very green

And it's foolish to think you would ever consider it again
After two or three drinks
All the books on the subjects say
"Just move along, give yourself some time to think"

[Pre-Chorus:]
They say follow your heart
What if your heart never knew where to go
Or, why?

[Chorus:]
You're just saying goodbye
To people whose every word is just a lie
Like a guilty man who knows he's gonna fry
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye

And it's foolish to need any sign
You consider me again after smoking some weed
All our friends are so bored of hearing
Every tired and desperate word we'd ever plead

[Pre-Chorus:]
They say follow your heart
What if your heart never knew where to go
Or, why?

[Chorus:]
You're just saying goodbye to people
Whose every word is just a lie
And you wonder just a little if your soul isn't starting to die
And you spend every waking moment wondering why

Why why why why why?
Why why why why why?

It was a winter's day when I finally realized
I was the one that was walking away
That you tried so many times
And I'd ignored every word that you had to say
And you know how a thing like that can be
Such a terrible shame 'cause it makes you feel old
And your words were so very cold

And it's foolish to think you
Can bury it all in some endless drive to drink
Every person you meet can tell you're a ship
Taking water in a storm and you're starting to sink
If you follow your heart then you're bound to
Become something else
You take one hard look at yourself

And you'll say I'm gonna
Do everything you said I couldn't do when I was high
And I'll write your name in stars across the sky
And we'll meet some day somewhere and you'll ask me why

Why why why why why?
Why why why why why?
Why why why why why?
