It's been this many years, and it's been that many tears, and I still have to ask the same question, why?
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed like
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
Funny me, funny you, don't have nothing left in common
You wanted me to have your heart, now you want it back
What about the promise made to me that you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason
And suddenly, we're flying high, now it's Mayday, we're falling fast
You're trying to kill us, I'm trying to pull up, damn I can't say
When you said you didn't need me, I really didn't think that you would leave
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed like
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody liked
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame
No mama got the respect for me and what I'm saying
I know how it feels to be ashamed, cause when I was young I felt that pain too
And I can't say enough that we're conscious to make a change
And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways
Damn, who am I fooling? What am I doing?
Thinking you love me
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
You and me were just alike, remember what we dreamed like
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody liked
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
You would think by this time I would get right
Know the schemes and the things that make it be right
When you said you could stay no longer
I thought I had just a little more delight
It looked like we used to turn a fight into a good night
I know the things I used to do to make you feel right
I would give anything, the fortune I made
To bring back the days that the feeling was so right
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
I remember saying things like we're happy, but nobody liked
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I was so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
Again I remember what would truly make
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I had two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
And it didn't no matter like
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night?
I soul sped away
I had two words to say
While the dreams we had we threw it all away
While the dreams we had we let them slip away
