I was taught early on That love could only be conditional So I found it hard to believe That there could be someone as selfless as you You didn't run away From all my pain Instead you came with open arms So tell my why, why I deserve a love like this? Tell me why the pieces that I've always missed Are the same shape as the ones you've given me? It almost feels like it's too good to be Ask me why, I'm changing all the plans I made Ask me why, I'll tell you you're the reason babe No shooting stars for me, I got my wish 'Cause I have never felt a love like this I grew up on my own No one there for me to call on the phone Had to build my heart out of stone You're the only person that I've ever called home You could have up and left, like all the rest Instead you stayed here in my arms So tell my why, why I deserve a love like this? Tell me why the pieces that I've always missed Are the same shape as the ones you've given me? It almost feels like it's too good to be Ask me why, I'm changing all the plans I made Ask me why, I'll tell you you're the reason babe No shooting stars for me, I got my wish 'Cause I have never felt a love like this
