Walter Egan - Reason Why Lyrics

by Gene Clark



If I was strong then I wouldn't care if she was here or she was there

But I guess I didn't go by the rule

'Cause she really made me look like a fool

I shouldn't have let her hurt me at all

'Cause I know the price you pay when you fall

But I couldn't believe it was true

When she told me we were through



And the reason why I cry I wish I knew



My friends told me about her, when they saw me hold her hand

But I didn't think they knew her

So how could they understand



I couldn't hear a word they were saying 'cause inside my head

The music was playing

But I found out it was all true when they told me we were through

And the reason why I die I wish I knew



Inst bridge



Repeat v3

And the reason why I cry I wish I knew

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
