Why I Can't Forget About You
by: InsomniaI can't forget, your hand holding mine
Why can't wel talk about, and start all over again
Or is it just to late for that, so we can't
But I still love you, do you care about me?
Love, what, does it mean?
In, the end, it's heartbreaking
Why, can't, you ignore me?
That, would, be better for me
You're so perfect, that's why I love you
You're so close, but I can't reach you
You're so perfect, that's why I can't forget you
You're so close, But I must leave you
Maybe it's in your eyes, they say something to me
What I can't explain, but it's so perfect for me
The last time I saw you, you were so angry
Why I still love, I just don't know it
You, were, so, angry
It, was, heart-breaking
Why, can't, you ignore me?
That, would, be better for us
You're so perfect, that's why I love you
You're so close, but I can't reach you
You're so perfect, that's why I can't forget you
You're so close, But I must leave you
You're not so perfect
You're not so close
You're so perfect, that's why I love you
You're so close, but I can't reach you
You're so perfect, that's why I can't forget you
You're so close, But I must leave you
You're so perfect, that's why I love you
You're so close, but I can't reach you
You're so perfect, that's why I can't forget you
