The Waves of Clementine

Didn't Know Why

I was crying and I didn't know why
I knew you were watching and I didn't know why
I saw you cared and I didn't know why
I knew you felt it too and I didn't know why

You were aware of the darkness in my eyes
You were aware that my smiles were lies
You had heard my screams and cries
You knew about my cuts and tries...

You said nothing and you didn't know why
You kept blindly watching and you didn't know why
You still thought you were a friend and you didn't know why
You thought I didn't notice and you didn't know why

And then when I started to die
You rushed over so fast as if you could fly
Acting like a gentleman in a bow and tie
Bringing my hopes back up into the sky

We told each other everything and we didn't know why
We supported each other and we didn't know why
We laughed and cried together and we didn't know why
We loved each other and we didn't know why

And it's okay that we didn't know why
Because I'm just glad that it's you and I
