Why - Carla Bley & Paul Haines

Why Lyrics

hey boy take a look at me
straight through the eyes
where you can see my reality
it's not hard for you to realize
that you were the one I wanted
but you killed me inside
now I can't pretend
why did this have to end
(Chorus)
You love her, you hate her
I can't take this anymore you
You lose her, you use her
I am lost and know not what to do
Why'd this have to end?
the bitter sweetness is all that stands
the more I try you fall through my hands
so many things to watch out for baby
you know I can't take anymore

I cry time and time again
you try but there's nothing to defend
(Chorus)
and I know I can live without you
although things have changed
I'm not sure if I regret
all those things that we said
but I know I can live
hey boy take a look at me
straight through the eyes
where you can see my reality
it's not hard for you to realize
that you were the one I wanted
but you killed me inside
now I can't pretend
why did this have to end
why did this have to end
why did this have to end
