I have a story I'd like to tell broken heart's knowin' only too well And she knows why I feel the way I do She gave me love and took it away blue sky has turned to a solid grey And she knows why I feel the way I do Well I know I'm a walkin' down the lovesick trails been walked down by many before But when she sees my side of tracks she'll know I've learned the score I pick my tears put 'em on the shelf keep my heartaches to myself And she knows why I feel the way I do [ guitar ] When she finds somebody new he'll find out what I went through And she knows why I feel the way I do She gave me love and took it away blue skies had turned to a solid grey And she knows why I feel the way I do Well I know I'm a walkin' down... She knows why I feel the way I do
