I said "Everybody's headed out to LA But I hate to see you suffer You love New York in the summer" So let's gather up The pieces of this broken Wilted thing It's worth the struggle I just ache to touch you I've always Wanted you too close Why, why, why Is it hard To sleep without you? I don't mind If you build Your dreams around it We won't survive On this borrowed time I don't know why You'd wanna try I said "Why, why, why Do we waste time On these white lies?" I catch A glimpse of fingernails With cracked pink polish Tapping out a rhythm I'm just wondering What you're thinking There's a faded photograph Of someone else You used to love Can't stop from wishing That you'd just forget him I've always Wanted you too close Why, why, why Is it hard To sleep without you? I don't mind If you build Your dreams around it We won't survive On this borrowed time I don't know why You'd wanna try I said "Why, why, why Do we waste time On these white lies?" I remember the night The hotel bed You cried out loud You were Still in love with me Through time and space Oh, everything You've wasted All your precious dreams And faith, it seems Needless crying Why, why, why Is it hard To sleep without you? I don't mind If you build Your dreams around it We won't survive On this borrowed time I don't know why You'd wanna try I said "Why, why, why Do we waste time?" And I said "Why, why, why Do we waste time On these white lies?"
