lyrics

You can talk about love
but I still don't understand
How my mind becomes useless
and I lie awake in bed
There's no butterflies
but snakes in my gut
And these cold-blooded things
are all tied up in knots

Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't I be what I need to be?
Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't you see what you need in me?
Why can't I be just what you need?

I scream and I holler
and bang on my guitar
It's just a means to get away
from what I'm longing for
I can't hold my tongue
but I can't let it out
I'm hindered by self
and I'm consumed by doubt

Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't I be what I need to be?
Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't you see what you need in me?
Why can't I be just what you need?

I used to think I played my cards too soon
Now I see I shouldn't have played them at all
at all
You'd think I'd learn to keep my big mouth shut
I guess I didn't learn nothin' at all
at all

Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't I be what I need to be?
Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't you see what you need in me?
Why can't I be just what you need?

Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't I be what I need to be?
Why can't I? (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Why can't you see what you need in me?
Why can't I be just (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
