Hold on tight she wears the seek
It's got more stars than the sky
It's still forbidden to excuse
That little look in your eye
I was busted in my gut that time
That time I said "I know it's true"
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I?

I can't believe she's married to roe
I would have turned down the light
But she always mocked my fear
Doesn't make it alright
I wanted to stay there
But you know I needed more than that
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I?

Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? why didn't I ask?
