Why Not的詞曲作者為Hilary Duff，以下是其歌詞：
Verse 1：
Why not just give in?
Why not just give up?
Why not just forget it all?
Why not just start over?
Chorus：
I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I don't know what's next
But I know what I'm feeling
Verse 2：
I'm standing at a crossroad
With no real idea of what to do
And all the questions keep pouring in
But I know the answers won't come easy
Chorus：
I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I don't know what's next
But I know what I'm feeling
Bridge：
It's a lonely road I'm on
But I won't be alone forever
It may be dark right now
But I know the light is getting closer
Chorus：
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm gonna figure it out
Gonna take some time, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(重複) 沒問題？那就放棄？（第二句也可以寫成：）別告訴我未來的道路在那裡等待著你？我只能描述我以前曾經經歷過的；我未來該怎么做（走下去），我不確定；但是我知道自己的感情在哪裡；在一片空白的十字路口；不管何時都要開始往前繼續闖；無休止的難題持續湧來；但我知道答案不會輕易出現；雖然這條路我獨自一人前行；但我不會永遠孤單；現在也許一片黑暗；但我知道光明在靠近。 (重複)
