That's Why (studio demo)

Lyrics

Me and this lonesome highway became fast friends Driving away last night I confessed to what I did And how I'd live to regret it and how leaving still somehow seemed right. I road off like a coward while she lay there so softly The moonlight blessing her face. Someday I'll answer The questions that'll haunt me but today I'm just running away. I forgot how to laugh I forgot how to cry I forgot how to let her inside I forgot how to feel I forgot how to try And that's why I forgot to say goodbye. That's why I forgot to say goodbye. 4 cups of coffee at that roadside diner Should keep me speeding all day, but my caffeine minds races Crashes and burns and I pull over to the wayside and I pray! (CHORUS) So I'm making my way back to Crested Butte, Colorado The Elk Mountains are a fine place to hide The Cutthroats and the Rainbows up the Slate river valley Don't judge me or claim to care why. Oh why! I forgot how to laugh I forgot how to cry I forgot how to let her inside I forgot how to feel I forgot how to try And that's why I forgot to say goodbye. That's why! That's why!
