[Verse]
Late nights in musty motel rooms
Stale lives left by someone else
White lies I wish I could tell you
And questions I ask of myself

[Chorus]
Why do I do the things that make me sorry?
Why do I do the things that make you cry?
Will I lose your love to another who loves you better than I?

[Verse]
The angels smile when you're praying
But the devil laughs when you lie
And some things, they go without saying
When tears fill up your eyes

[Chorus]
Why do I do the things that make me sorry?
Why do I do the things that make you cry?
Will I lose your love to another who loves you better than I?

[Verse]
Some questions beg for an answer
Like a poet begs for a rhyme
Somehow all I can remember
Is holding your hand in mine
[Verse]
Late nights in musty motel rooms
Stale lives left all alone
He's telling you how he wants you
And I'm praying he doesn't know

[Chorus]
Why I do the things that make me sorry?
Why I do the things that make you cry?
If I could lose your love to another who loves you better than I?
Who loves you better than I?
