Bought a round trip, took a plane
Went to the beach but all it did was rain
So, I had to turn around and get back to my life

Empty house, empty rooms
Not a trace or a sign of you
Oh, if you can up and leave like that
Baby, why can't I?

Why can't I stop lovin' you, oh, baby, why
Nothin' I do gets me over you but I try

Friday night went on a date
I was home by quarter after eight
Oh, I just sit here torn up inside it didn't feel right

Well, I'm ok I tell myself
If you can find somebody else
Oh, and move on with your life
Baby, why can't I?

Why can't I stop lovin' you, oh, baby, why
Nothin' I do gets me over you but I try
Well, I wish I knew how to

Let you go, what can I do
Maybe I could learn from you
You found it easy to say goodbye
So, why can't I?

Oh, why can't I stop lovin' you, oh, baby, why
Nothin' I do gets me over you but I try
Well, I wish I knew how to

Let you go, what can I do
Maybe I could learn from you
You found it easy to say goodbye
So, why can't I?

You make it look so easy to say goodbye
So, why can't I?

Why can't I?
