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 would let the good things in?

I wanna know why,
Oh, why,
Can't we let the good would let the good things in?

You said that you'd loved me,
Before you saw you 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 would let the good things in?

I wanna know why,
Oh why,
Can't we let the good would 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 would let the good things in?

I wanna know why,
Oh Why,
Can't we let the good would 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?
