[Verse 1]
Love is just another word for lit
'Cause it feels so lit when you have that shit
You don't know how far you’ll go, until you're standing alone in the cold

[Chorus]
October nights
Cold as ice
So cold you’ll ask why didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Hold you tight, I have my
Baby right here why didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Take just a little more time ‘fore I said good-bye
Why didn't I
Know I had to be the bad girl to leave the good guy
Why didn't I

[Verse 2]
I can't even complain
Guess it all has to go this way
I didn't know
I didn't know that you was the best
Now I gotta go and settle for less
I understand if you did something that you can't come back from (that you can’t, that you can’t)
But I can't hate you, you ain't did none that you can’t come back from
Not all alone on these
[Chorus]
October nights
Cold as ice
So cold you’ll ask why didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Hold you tight, I have my
Baby right here why didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Why didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Take just a little more time ‘fore I said good-bye
Why didn't I
Know I had to be the bad girl to leave the good guy
Why didn't I
