about

This song was composed on the piano and the idea grew from the title.

lyrics

You must think I was born yesterday
To show me everything and walk away
Why’re you acting so strange?

You don’t know how you make me feel
I’ve never known a love to be so real
Why d’you have to go and change?

Why don’t you look around, see what you’ve done
Cos I don’t see why there’s a need to run
You let me down, you let me down
I need you here, by my side
So Baby why d’ya wanna run & hide
You must think I was born yesterday

Time heals, that’s what my friends all have said
Well maybe if you’ve got your whole life ahead
I guess I’ll have to do my best

Keep strong, I’ve gotta find a way to carry on
But it's not easy now you’re gone
Baby, why d’I fail your test?

Why don’t you look around, see what you’ve done
Cos I don’t see why there’s a need to run
You let me down, you let me down
I need you here, by my side
So Baby why d’ya wanna run & hide
You must think I was born yesterday

I’m inside a vacuum, & I can’t hardly breathe
You’re making me question everything I believe
The fool that I am thought that we were complete
But you’ve pulled the carpet from under my feet

Oh, why don’t you look around?
Oh, oh why don’t you look around?
Time heals that what my friends say
But I know I can't watch you walk away
I gotta keep strong
I gotta carry on
But I know it won't be easy if you're gone.
