Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
I can't belive all the times I believed in someone
Where's the love, first it's fast, then it breaks down
Hole in my heart, need to breathe, need a break now
That was a waste now, oh
I should've known from the jump
You've been cold, you've been hot
Did you plot on my gold, lost my faith now
Thought I could trust should've guessed you would change now
Fuck what you sayin now, oh
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
You played your part, as well as I did, baby
We played them better than most, most
You gave your heart, as well as I did, baby
We gave them better than most, most
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How you feelin'? I'm exhausted
Flakin' on your love, your heart is frosted
Let's talk this out, let's just go there
But everytime I try, you get defensive, rudy gobert
And log onto your Instagram and post a rumi quote there
Gratitude is wine for the soul go get drunk
Oh, that's cute, you in your zone there
We drive eachother crazy, but somehow we gettin' nowhere
Always startin' over like hello there
Hello there, hello there
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (ooh)
Could you tell me why?
