You told me I was beautiful
And held me oh so tight
So I dwelt on my ugliness and
Hid away my light
Tell me why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
You said that you'd loved me
Before you saw my face
So I waited and watched for
Another girl to take my place
Tell me why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
So much of what I'd hoped for
I couldn't let it be
So I made me a world where
You had to leave
Tell me why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why  oh why
Can't we let the good things in
I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Tell me I wanna know why
Can't we let the good things in
