Why Her Not Me

I feel your ghost,
smell you all over my clothes
Oh, all your smells up in me longer than you did
I had my doubts
I had to check it all out
And now I see that you've run back when I
thought you'd quit
You took my air out of your lungs
So you could breath with another one
Oh, tell me Why her not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh, Lord, it's not my fault
Why her not me?
Why did you have to build the wall so high?
Oh no, I'm not done climbin'
What's she heard about me
and all your history?
I'm not tryna bum myself,
but I can't let it go
Piece by piece
uncoverin' dishonesty
Never been truth in anything I've ever known
Findin out I'm not the only one
Took the air right out my lungs
Oh, tell me Why her not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh, Lord, its not my fault
Why her not me?
Why did you have to build the wall so high?
Oh no. I'm not done climbin'
Tell me why her?
You give her unconditional love
Tell me why her?
But I'm still climbin'
Tell me Why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me Why her?
I won't stop fightin
No no no
I won't lay low, low, low
You gave my soul, soul, soul
I'm not givin in, no
No no no
I won't lay low, low, low
I done no wrong, wrong, Wrong
I'm not givin in, no
Why her not me?
What did I do for you to wreck it all?
Oh, Lord, it's not my fault
Why her not me?
Why did you have to build the wall so high?
Oh. Lord. I'm not done climbin'
Tell me Why her?
You give her unconditional love
Tell me Why her?
But I'm still climbin'
Tell me Why her?
You gave me conditional love
Tell me Why her?
I won't stop fighting
