Never Ask Why

He still harbors beliefs of invulnerability
"I'll never get sick, you'll never die..."
Classic case of pure humanity
And I promised myself I wouldn't ask why
But all I have to do is be here
Because I promised it would be all right
All I have to do is be here...
Then, one of those songs is on the radio
I've learned to listen to so long ago
"Promise me you'll be there for me
Promise me you'll stay here with me
If you don't..." Well, no reply
I promised myself I would never ask why
Sometimes, I think I feel so desecrated
I promised not to say I love you, but...
Like drinking water, consecrated
The city water mains blessed by you
Classis case of our humanity
We take the things we set aside
Alter things we say into inanities
But I promised myself I wouldn't ask why
But all I have to do is be there
And I will be here with you tonight
All I have to do is be there...
Then, one of those songs is on the radio
I've learned to listen to so long ago
"Promise me you'll be there for me
Promise me you'll stay here with me
If you don't..." Well, no reply
I promised myself I would never ask why
I warned him of the virus inside me
But he never listens, so I just hold his face
Classic case of his humanity
Somehow, there's always more grace
Then, one of those songs is on the radio
I've learned to listen to so long ago
"Promise me you'll be there for me
Promise me you'll stay here with me
If you don't..." Well, no reply
I promised myself I would never ask why
