## Lyrics
[verse]
I never planned on falling
Never saw your face and stayed
But something in your laughter
Made every doubt I had just fade

[chorus]
Why can't this be love, tell me why not
Why can't this be love, everything we've got
Why can't this be real, why can't it be true
Why can't this be love, when I'm here with you

[verse]
Maybe I'm afraid of feeling
Maybe you've been hurt before
But standing here beside you
I don't wanna fight it anymore

[chorus]
Why can't this be love, tell me why not
Why can't this be love, everything we've got
Why can't this be real, why can't it be true
Why can't this be love, when I'm here with you

[bridge]
Stop asking why, just let it happen
Stop asking why, just feel it grow
Sometimes the heart already knows the answer
Long before the mind can know

[chorus]
Why can't this be love, tell me why not
Why can't this be love, everything we've got
Why can't this be real, why can't it be true
Why can't this be love, when I'm here with you
