I remember the day I first met you
You really caught my attention
Didn't know I was looking for a rescue 
I wasn't thinking that hard
Now and then I was there in the moment 
I was ready for nothing
That doesn't mean that I really didn't love you 
While I'm breaking your heart

[CHORUS]

Don't ask why 
Before we get too close just let me
Say good bye 
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and
I die inside 
Just let me walk away 

I feel bad that I let my past hurt you 
'Cos I really didn't mean to
I was lost I was lucky you found me
But it only got worse
Right now while you're looking right at me,
The emotions so scary
Doesn't mean that I really don't love you 
When I'm making you hurt

[CHORUS]

Don't ask why 
Before we get too close just let me
Say good bye 
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and
I die inside 
Just let me walk away

And though I want this more than ever
I wish there was another way
You see my words can only hurt you
Until his shadow fades away

Ohh

[CHORUS]

Don't ask why 
Before we get too close just let me
Say good bye 
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and
I die inside 
Just let me walk away (let me walk away)

[CHORUS]

Don't ask why 
Before we get too close just let me
Say good bye 
It's easier this way (It's easier this way)
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and
I die inside 
Just let me walk away
