In the still of the night

I can almost feel you lying next to me

Like it used to be



And it's hard to let go

When there's always something there remiding me

How things could be



I've tried to get you off my mind

I've tried to play my part

But every time I close to my eyes

You're still inside my heart



Why can't I laugh

Why must I cry

Every time we say goodbye

Why does it rain

Here in my heart

Every day that we're apart

Why can't it be

Just you and me

What will it take to make you see

These are the words

To my heartbreak lullaby



Like the stars in the sky

You still keep on shining down your light on me

but out of reach



And I know that in time

You will come back to your senses, see the signs

And change your mind



I try to look the other way

And keep my heart on hold

But every time I'm close to you

I loose my self control



Chorus version 2

Why can't I laugh

Why must I cry

Give me just one good reason why
