Why Her And Not Me

why her
i'm just wondering
don't get defensive on me now
it's an innocent question
but it's one i have to ask

why her
why not me
i just don't understand
we're right for each other
like when a good band

plays the song of my life
plays it loud
plays it long
and the music enfolds me
the lyrics enrich me
you're my new favorite song

why her
why not me
we're good when we're together
two puzzle pieces
connected
forever

and i know that eventually
the puzzle's dismantled
the song's last chord chimes
but i can't face the fact that the time of our lives

is just barely beginning
it feels like the end
i don't know what i'll do without you
my wonderful friend

why her
why not me
perfection at last
i just can't believe that
it's all in the past

is it true that your feelings for me
don't exist anymore
or is it just you denying them
pushing them down under and--

oh wait
you love her now
it's true
and i know

that the question why her
and not me
is as far as i'll go

toward questioning fate
something even i do not dare
because i take whatever hand i'm dealt
no matter how unfair

but that doesn't mean i have to be happy about it...
