Intro

x2

Why am I lonely

You're sitting right here

Why am I talking

 It's like I'm talking to the air

What am I looking for

 That just isn't there

Why am I angry

How'd it get so bad

And why am I missing

 What we never really had

Why don't you love me

 The way I love you

Why don't you feel things

 As deep as I do

 We've got a fundamental difference

 In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

 Like a river needs an ocean

 Baby why don't you love me

Who am I kidding

It wasn't meant to be

But you wanted a believer

And I needed to believe

 For every wall you built around you

 I learned a brand new way to climb

 And if I could've been your angel

 I would've found a way to fly

Why don't you love me

 The way I love you

Why don't you feel things

 As deep as I do

 We've got a fundamental difference

 In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

 Like a river needs an ocean

 Baby why don't you love me

Solo

x2

I don't understand you

 What's it take to make you cry

 And if leaving you don't break you

 Then baby what's it matter why

Why don't you love me

 The way I love you

Why don't you feel things

 As deep as I do

 We've got a fundamental difference

 In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

 Like a river needs an ocean

 Baby why don't you love me

Why don't you love me

Why don't you love me

 The way I love you

Why don't you feel things

 As deep as I do

 We've got a fundamental difference

 In matters of emotion

But I need to feel you need me

 Like a river needs an ocean

 Baby why don't you love me
