You said last summer was the worse But all your lines seem so rehearsed Can you answer me straight? Or is that too much to ask? You found in me a new routine And nowhere near a lack of self-esteem It could only be for reasons You never could express Why don't you? (why don't you?) Why won't you? Why won't you say what you mean? And stop acting 17 We've grown since then, all that we said You bet I'll see this till the end Why don't you listen to me? And start acting 23 You know this heart, I know it's hard Don't you dare Let it fall apart You bit the dust with a lack of trust Burning down till our hearts both bust Can you look at me straight? (can you look at me straight?) Or is that too much to ask? We found it harder in the summer Just to relax, just to get back You wouldn't even reconsider Why won't you? Why won't you say what you mean? And stop acting 17 We've grown since then, all that we said You bet I'll see this till the end Why don't you listen to me? And start acting 23 You know this heart, I know it's hard Don't you dare Let it fall apart Why won't you say what you mean? And stop acting 17 We've grown since then, all that we said You bet I'll see this till the end Why won't you listen to me? And start acting 23 You know this heart, I know it's hard Don't you dare Why won't you say what you mean? And stop acting 17 We've grown since then, all we have said You bet I'll see this till the end Why don't you listen to me? And start acting 23 You know this heart, I know it's hard Don't you dare Let it fall apart You said last summer was the worse But all your lines seem so rehearsed Can you answer me straight? Or is that too much to ask?
