[Verse 1]
I remember the day I first met you
You really caught my attention
Didn't know I was lookin' for a rescue
Wasn't thinkin' that hard
Now and then, I was there in the moment
I was ready for nothin'
Doesn't mean that I really didn't love you
While I'm breakin' your heart

[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away

[Verse 2]
I feel bad that I let my past hurt you
'Cause I really didn't mean to
I was lost, I was lucky you found me
But it only got worse
Right now, while you're lookin' right at me
The emotion's so scary
Doesn't mean that I really don't love you
When I'm makin' you hurt
[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way (It's easier this way)
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away

[Bridge]
And though I want this more than ever
I wish there was another way
You see, my words can only hurt you
'Til his shadow fades away
Oh

[Chorus]
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way (It's easier this way)
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away (Just let me walk away)
Don't ask why
Before we get too close, just let me say goodbye
It's easier this way (It's easier this way)
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die inside
Just let me walk away
