verse 1:

Why are you acting so cold?
  It's almost as if you don't care.
I wish that there was someway I could help you out
  My heart talks but my voice does not dare

Why am I so afraid of the truth?
  I gave my heart away without much thought.
But somewhere in the time between truth and faith
  I reached for you, you pulled away, now I'm distraught

chorus:

Why are we not together?
  You felt my honesty, I felt your devotion.
This connection I feel must be mutual, so
  Please come back, I won't run, you can forget that notion.

verse 2:

Why are you running from me?
  I asked how you felt and you said you cared.
You said I was foolish for thinking otherwise
  My heart spoke up again and my voice took the dare.

But why am I moving so fast?
  I've never been this sure about my heart...
I told you that I've fallen for you
  So I move forward, you move back, and now I'm falling apart

repeat chorus

Why can't we be together?
  I never wanted to drive you away 
I need you, b/c I honestly love you,
  So tell me you feel the same and stay

ad lib(talking):

Why are you, why am I, why are we so distant
  Our friendship, our bond, can be fixed in an instant.
But I think, it may be, beyond repair, so let me prove 
  That I can be there...can I be there
    ...for you??? answer me...
