Lyrics

A house and home was built on blessed ground
In a few words and a minute, it burned down to the ground
A poverty of passion the walls could not withstand
The gravity of living pulled down our best laid plans

I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know how the wind can change direction
How a lie avoids detection; how the perfect love can die
I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know how a heart survives deception
And I don’t know why I just can’t say goodbye

You never really feel a promise break
‘Til the whole world rocks with aftershocks and the ground begins to shake
I wish I had the power to calm the rumbling down
But I lost my faith when your new life was found

I Don’t Know,I Don’t Know how the wind can change direction
How a lie avoids detection; how the perfect love can die
I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know how a heart survives deception
And I don’t know why I just can’t say goodbye

They ask me how I’m doin’. I tell ‘them I’m ok”
When we talk about relations, we don’t bring up your name
It’s better not to mention. I’m living to forget
In time I won’t remember, but it hasn’t happened yet

I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know how the wind can change direction
How a lie avoids detection; how the perfect love can die
I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know how a heart survives deception
And I don’t know why I just can’t say goodbye
