How Can It Be |
How? |
How can it be? |
How can it be you still love him and not me? |
Does it really add up mathematically? |
How? |
How can it be? |
Because I’m thinking of how I made you laugh |
And I’m thinking of the love that we have |
And I’m saying it’s a matter of time |
How long till you remember you’re mine |
It don’t make it true just cause it’s where you’ve been sided |
It don’t make it true just cause it’s what you’ve decided |
Oh it’s the logic that’s wrong |
Why are you there for so long? |
I just can’t see nothing else |
Except for you and myself |
So, how? |
How can it be? |
How can it be you still love him and not me? |
Does it really make sense logically? |
And does it really make you happy to see? |
That now I’m with someone beautiful and cool |
And she seems to think the world of me too |
And her laughing as we stroll up the street |
Until I take her to that joint where I eat |
But why are you here now in my restaurant? |
And you’re with the only one that you want |
So I won’t be eating here or anywhere else I fear |
And the girl that’s on my arm is gonna have to see tears |
More tears |
Because I see her face and it’s still my own |
How can I ever think of something that’s gone? |
It’s just the fact that we’re a match that makes sense |
I’ll go insane if you still claim we’ll be friends |
And I know you think I’m crazy |
And the world thinks it too |
But I’m not crazy it’s just dumb to be alive without you |
I know you love his looks |
You love his love |
You love his family |
But is that really any reason to love him instead of me? |
I can’t see |
Oh How can it be? |
And does it really add up mathematically? |
Or should I say it more emphatically? |
Consistently or sporadically? |
Oh is this really just the way it’ll be? |
