Don't Know Why Lyrics
One by one
Dreams are gone
Do I have to stay?
Hate the sound
Of one more pound
As it rolls away
Why did I need your proof,
When I knew the truth
That I don't know why
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
I don't want
To know your game
Let alone her name
No matter what you say to me
We are not the same
Why do you make me cry
And try to justify
Don't right, your wrongs
With my mistakes
Cause my head's held high
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
[x2]
Dreams we have as kids
All fade away
Now it's not the same
And I don't know why
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
[x2]
Dreams are gone
Do I have to stay?
Hate the sound
Of one more pound
As it rolls away
When I knew the truth
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
To know your game
Let alone her name
No matter what you say to me
We are not the same
And try to justify
Don't right, your wrongs
With my mistakes
Cause my head's held high
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
[x2]
All fade away
Now it's not the same
I just let it slip by me all the time
I just wish you'd have tried
[x2]

Wow im the first person 2 comment yey!!!!!!! This song is really good! Its about parents splitting up! Not the best song on the new album but certainly one of the very very very very good songs The new album is FAB n harry judd is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!! Luv him! haha!
One of the best songs on the album in my opinion - the tour version where it was accoustic leading into the drums was excellent, it really excelled the song.
I love the line: "Why did I need your proof? When I knew the truth. And I don't know why, I just let it slip by me all the time, I just wish you'd have tried."
I lie the fact that it's about parents splitting then it has other subtle meanings.
It's certainly one of the best Mcfly have ever written, along with She Falls Asleep. I agree with FrankiexCore.
Wasn't this about his dad cheating on his mum? I think I read that somewhere. When I first heard it I wasn't that impressed, but since I watched the tour version I absolutely love it.
Well i never knew this song was about parents splitting up till i read it on here. I love this song, i can honestly say its my favourite song in the world. Whenever i listen to it, it makes me feel happy.
This has to be the best song they've ever written, as for once its not about trying to get with a girl.
It actually has a meaning, and thats what makes me love it so much.
when you watch the tour version you can really see how this song means a lot to danny, he gives it his all. got me pretty emotional
Aww yeah just how the light is focused on him so its just like its him on the stage. Its amazing
This is a pretty good song, by mr Jones & his sister vicki. It is basically about Parents going through a tough time, and having to be in the middle of it. Not the best song on the album but its a tune and the lyrics have so much meaning.
I love Danny. And his sister's great. This song is amazing.
Fave Mcfly song! Very relateable and catchy.
