Written by Lori & Don Chaffer
Something just isn't quite right
I'm not feeling alone tonight
I know that you are gone
So why haven't I been able to move on
We were only children back then
At the place where anger and love begins
But what might have been never was
And so I do what anyone does
CHORUS
Why be a mystery
Lying in history
Some nights I can't picture your face
Barely formed and then taken away
Like the crash of a wave
Leaves a hole where a rock had once taken its place
Seven long days and then you were
CHORUS
Lying in history
Why be a mystery
A good woman who can find
Never sleeping, always kind
Strong and fearless with a right mind
Pretty soon she leaves herself behind
CHORUS
Lying in history
Why be a mystery
Something just isn't quite right
I'm not feeling alone tonight
I know that you are gone
So why haven't I been able to move on
We were only children back then
At the place where anger and love begins
But what might have been never was
And so I do what anyone does
CHORUS
Why be a mystery
Lying in history
Some nights I can't picture your face
Barely formed and then taken away
Like the crash of a wave
Leaves a hole where a rock had once taken its place
Seven long days and then you were
CHORUS
Lying in history
Why be a mystery
A good woman who can find
Never sleeping, always kind
Strong and fearless with a right mind
Pretty soon she leaves herself behind
CHORUS
Lying in history
Why be a mystery
