## Lyrics

Why does Monday, come before Tuesday

Why do summers start in June

Why do winters come too soon

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do we love if love will die

Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday

Why do flowers come in May

Why springtime go away

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do I love you tell me why

It's not like I can explain what's in my heart

It's just I feel a crazy pain when we're apart

I don't wanna breathe, I don't wanna think

I don't wanna learn

I don't wanna do anything

It's not like I can describe what's going on

It's just I feel I'm not alive

When you're not home

I just wanna sleep, I don't wanna be

I just want you here beside me

Without you there's no me

Why does Monday come before Tuesday

Why do summers start in June

Why do winters come too soon

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do we love if love will die

Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday

Why do flowers come in May

Why does springtime go away

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do I love you tell me why

It's not like I can escape, what's in my soul

Cause without you inside my heart

Where can I go

I don't wanna see, girl you without me

I can't go through life without you

Without you there's no me

Why does Monday come before Tuesday

Why do summers start in June

Why do winters come too soon

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do we love if love will die

Why do the rivers flow to the sea

In every flow I get your love over me, babe

Why does my heart feel so missed

To be in love, to fall in love

Why don't I feel complete

Why does Monday come before Tuesday

Why do summers start in June

Why do winters come too soon

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do we love if love will die

Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday

Why do flowers come in May

Why does springtime go away

Why do people fall in love

When they're always breaking up, oh why

Why do I love you tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why
