Why

You broke my heart
You promised you never would leave me all alone waiting by the phone
For your call to me
I gave you my everything
As perfect as two could be
Now I just can't see, it was you and me
Wondering where we'd gone
Tell me why
Do I cry at night, hold my pillow tight
Over you and I
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
Won't tell me the reason
Won't show me a sign
Tell me why
I took a chance
And you promised me romance
Never thought I'd be, feeling lost and weak, what's come over me
So now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
Though it's hard to move on, time to say goodbye, there's no one more try
Yeah, we're set and done
Can you tell me why
Do I cry at night, hold my pillow tight
Over you and I
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
Won't tell me the reason
Won't show me a sign
Can you tell me why you think that I won't get over you
There's nothing holding me back from finding somebody new
Can you tell me why, why, why
Why, why, why
Why
Do I cry at night, hold my pillow tight
Over you and I
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
Won't tell me the reason
Won't show me a sign
Can you tell me why
Do I cry at night, hold my pillow tight
Over you and I
No I can't deny
What I feel inside
Won't tell me the reason (the reason)
Won't show me a sign
Tell me why
