Written by John Rich / Vicky McGehee / Rodney Clawson
It's 3 am and you finally say
You're sorry for acting that way
You didn't really mean to make me cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder
Chorus
Why does it always have to come down to me leaving
Before you'll say "I love you"
Why do you always use the words that cut the deepest
When you know how much it hurts me
Oh baby why, do you do that to me
I know you'd never let me walk away
So why do you push me till I break
Why am I always on the verge of goodbye
Before you'll show me how you really feel inside
Repeat Chorus
Why do you always use the words that cut the deepest
When you know how much it hurts me
Oh baby why, do you do that to me
