Why

Promises meant the world to me
When they were plans of what our love would bring
I couldn't wait for the time to see
Your promises became reality
But then one day things weren't the same
I tried to figure out what changed
Next day, you weren't there with me
A sense of loneliness I couldn't believe
You told me that you would always love me
How could you break this promise to me, baby?
So why did you have to leave?
Me with the wrong impression
Now all I do is question
Why
Did you have to break my heart? (Break my heart)
Why (why, why)
Did our love fall apart, boy? (Boy)
Why (Why)
Did everything seem so right just (Ooh)
Tell me baby, won't you tell me
Why
Did you give up on loving me? (Loving me)
Why
When you had everything you needed? (thing you needed, yeah)
Why
How did our love just disappear?
Tell me baby, won't you tell me
Why
Can you explain why you would up and leave
When all seemed well between you and me
Don't understand how you could let this be
A life without you being here with me
I can't believe that you are gone
What could I have possibly done wrong
I've never hurt or caused any pain
That would make you leave me this way
Oh, baby
You told me that you would always love me
How could you break this promise to me, babe?
So why did you have to leave?
Me with the wrong impression
Now all I do is question
Why (Why, ooh, yeah)
Did you have to break my heart?
Why
Did our love fall apart, boy? (why, did it fall apart boy)
Why
Did everything seem so right just
Tell me baby, won't you tell me
Why (why)
Did you give up on loving me? (baby)
Why (tell me why)
When you had everything you needed?
Why (how am i)
How did our love just disappear? (baby, please tell me)
Tell me baby, won't you tell me
Why
Did you have to break my heart? (oo and why!)
Why
Did our love fall apart, boy? (our love just fall apart, boy)
Why
Did everything seem so right just (you gotta tell me, gotta tell me)
Tell me baby, won't you tell me
Why (Oooh, why)
Did you give up on loving me? (yeah)
Why (oh why)
When you had everything you needed? (yeah!)
Why (why, yeah!)
How did our love just disappear?
Tell me baby, won't you tell me (woah, ooh!)
Why
I had given my all to you
Without knowing that one day soon (one day soon)
You would take away from me (take away)
What had meant the world to me (ooo)
Didn't all the promises
You made to me
About our love
Mean anything
And I can't believe that you and me
Are not to be
So can you tell me
Why
Did you have to break my heart?
Why
Did our love fall apart, boy?
Why
Did everything seem so right just
Tell me baby, won't you tell me (oooh, why)
Why
Did you give up on loving me? (oooh, why)
Why
When you had everything you needed? (oooh, why)
Why
How did our love just disappear?
Tell me, oh baby, won't you tell me
Why
Did you have to break my heart? (did you have to)
Why
Did our love fall apart, boy? (did love fall)
Why
Did everything seem so right just (everything was so right)
Tell me baby, won't you tell me (so tell me why)
Why
Did you give up on loving me? (loving me)
Why (why)
When you had everything you needed? (coz everything)
Why (oh!)
How did our love just disappear? (yeah, yeah)
Tell me baby, won't you tell me (baby)
