Verse 1
She looked me in the eyes and said it's time to leave
Packed up my things, pulled her hand from my sleeve
Told me I had to go home, that her time with me was done
Like a game she was playing, and she'd already won
Chorus
I said, "Why?"
Looking for a reason, looking for a sign
I said, "Why?"
Trying to make sense of what was on her mind
She just looked right through me, cold as can be
And she said L M N O and P
Post-Chorus
L M N O and P
L M N O and P
Verse 2
No long explanations, no tears in her eyes
Just a handful of letters to cover her lies
I stood at the doorway, searching for more
As she turned around and walked away from the door
Pre-Chorus
Counting down the alphabet, running out of grace
Watching her silhouette vanish from the place
Chorus
I said, "Why?"
Looking for a reason, looking for a sign
I said, "Why?"
Trying to make sense of what was on her mind
She just looked right through me, cold as can be
And she said L M N O and P
Post-Chorus
L M N O and P
L M N O and P
Bridge
Five little letters, half the story untold
Silver tongue without the silver
A heart that turned to cold
Maybe I should thank her for the rhyme
At least she gave me something
Something to rewind
Chorus
I said, "Why?"
Looking for a reason, looking for a sign
I said, "Why?"
Trying to make sense of what was on her mind
She just looked right through me, cold as can be
And she said L M N O and P
Post-Chorus
L M N O and P
L M N O and P
