Perfection has a name
It was stated in our eyes
We were one and just the same
I was yours and you were mine
What I was to say you already knew
Hot pure love, damn it was true
But we didn't have a clue

Why
Why didn't we just try
Why did we just sit and cry
And watch our love die
Baby why
Baby why
Why

What you told me that night
Stayed forever in my mind
I couldn't even sleep
I couldn't even try
I couldn't let myself go back and fight
I have said this once and I'll repeat
If happiness could be our currency
Baby you would have made me rich
'Cause with you my life was complete

Why
Why didn't we just try
Why did we just sit and cry
And watch our love die
Baby why
Baby why
Why

Now I'm sitting all alone
Singing out this song
But life goes on

Why
Why didn't we just try
Why did we just sit and cry
And watch our love die
Baby why
Baby why
Why
