From In the Beginning (1988) by The Byrds

The Reason Why (Clark)

If I was strong then I wouldnґt care
If she was here or she was there
But I guess I didnґt go by the rules
`cause she really made me look like a fool

I shouldnґt have let it hurt me at all
`cause I know the price you pay when you fall
But I couldnґt believe it was true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew

My friends told me about her
When they saw me hold her hand
But I didnґt think they knew her
So how could they understand

I couldnґt hear a word they were saying
`cause inside my head the music was playing
But I found out it was all true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew

I couldnґt hear a word they were saying
`cause inside my head the music was playing
But I found out it was all true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew.

Oh yeah I wish I knew
Oh yeah I wish I knew
