Can’t Tell You Why
By Jacob Brandon (JDBrand Music)
VERSE 1-
I used to act or speak before I would think
Most of the time it started with a mixed drink
Wish I could say it was rare but it happened a lot
I’m sure I had options but didn’t give it much thought
(PRE CHORUS)
I never could tell you why I did the things that I use to do
The more you ask the more I wish I could tell you
-CHORUS-
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did at that one place
Where I ended up in a fight
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did that one night
Where I was running from the cop lights
-VERSE 2-
If I knew then what I know now
I think I still would’ve messed it up somehow
Back then I wasn’t right in the head
It’s a miracle I didn’t end up dead.
(PRE CHORUS)
I never could tell you why I did the things that I use to do
The more you ask the more I wish I could tell you
-CHORUS-
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did at that one place
Where I ended up in a fight
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did that one night
Where I was running from the cop lights
(VERSE 3)
Well I’m a little bit older than I was back then
If I had to it all over- I wouldn’t do it again
Back then it all seemed like a lot of fun
Right now I can’t believe what I’d done
(CHORUS)
-BRIDGE-
There must have been a reason that I did the things that I’ve done
But my memory’s a little hazy
But I know I’m not the only one
-CHORUS-
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did at that one place
Where I ended up in a fight
I can tell you:
Who, What, When, Where and How
But I just can’t tell you why
I did what I did that one night
Where I was running from the cop lights
