I Don’t Understand Why 
By Jane Hasler and Alan Blair Middleton

Verse 1
I don’t understand why, each time you let me through your heart’s door, (we could soar),
You turn so cold, like all we shared never went before, (I need more),
What happened to you long ago, makes you too scared to know? (scared to show),
How much richer we could be, and what being together could mean,

Chorus
I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, tell me why, 
Repeat line 

Verse 2
I don’t understand why, still I’m not sure, (unsure),  
For my need to know you offer no cure, (so insecure),
I’ve tried so often to reach out my hand, (understand) to give you love,
And make you feel safe and know, I’d never have let it go,

Chorus 
Never let go, never let go, never let go I’d never have let it go,
I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, tell me why,

Verse 3
I don’t understand why, perhaps never will, (unfulfilled),
What drives you to turn away from us still, (feel the chill),
For we have tasted something so sweet, (bittersweet,) when you’ve let our hearts meet (miss a beat), 

Chorus
When our hearts meet, when our hearts meet, (so bittersweet,) when our hearts meet.
Never let go, never let go, never have let it go
I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why I don’t understand why oh tell me why

End stanza 
I’ve tried and I’ve tried, can take it no longer,
I give nothing more, except hope whatever your fear one day is gone.
Maybe fade out on I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why
