Tom House Never Knew Why lyrics

Never knew why you came back Never knew why you cried
Never knew why you bothered at all
Out there in the rain Bareheaded and plainly Lost in your own misery
　
And you couldn't recall All the reasons you ran
That anger that finally broke free
And I never knew why No I never knew why
All that anger was directed at me
　
Like an old tin can The dreams of a man
Can be stomped on crushed and kicked to the side
And time after time when I needed you most
You disappeared Found you someplace to hide

And I never knew why Though I'd sure like to hear it
I'd sure like to hear it from you
Why it never was real It never was true
You couldn't conceal What it meant to you
And I never knew why
No I never knew why
