How Lyrics by Lisa Loeb

The Very Best of Lisa Loeb

1996

I didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me
And now you want to ask me "how"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

Why did you come here?
You weren't invited
You were on the outside - Stay on the outside

And now you want to ask me "why"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and how do you cry?
How does your heart beat?

And there are some things that I'd like to figure out
There are some things that I can do without -
Like you, and your letters that go on forever
And you, and the people that were never friends
Never friends
Never friends

With all the things that you could be
You never could learn how to be me
And now you want to ask me "how"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe

How do you breathe
