Oooh
|
We could have had it all
|
But you turned your back
|
|
We started with dreams
|
We started a team
|
But you weren't as true as you always seemed
|
You promised to love
|
No matter what
|
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
|
|
What made you think
|
That without me
|
Your life would be so much better but now you see (oh-oh, but now you see)
|
That without me
|
Your hopes and dreams (your hopes and your dreams)
|
Will never be as good as what you had with me
|
|
Tell me why, oh why (so tell me why)
|
Did we end up this way
|
When we tried, we tried (we tried)
|
To make everything okay (oooh)
|
Tell me why, oh why
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay
|
When we could have stayed together
|
But you wanted it this way
|
|
You never thought
|
That I would find out
|
All of the things you said about us
|
When you're the one who
|
Decided to
|
Erase all our plans and say you approved
|
|
What made you think
|
That without me
|
Your life would be so much better but now you see (so much
|
better, but now you see)
|
That without me (without me)
|
Your hopes and dreams (they will never)
|
Will never be as good as what you had with me (had with me)
|
|
Tell me why, oh why (tell me why)
|
Did we end up this way (did we end up this why)
|
When we tried, we tried (when we tried)
|
To make everything okay (yes we did)
|
Tell me why, oh why
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay (did you feel you couldn't stay)
|
When we could have stayed together (we could have stayed)
|
But you wanted it this way
|
|
Tell me why, oh why (did we end up this way)
|
Did we end up this way (I thought it was okay)
|
When we tried, we tried
|
To make everything okay (we tried, tried, tried so hard)
|
Tell me why, oh why
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay (but it was you who wanted to leave)
|
When we could have stayed together
|
But you wanted it this way
|
|
Now tell me was it
|
Your plan all along
|
To try and use me, and then let go
|
Now where is the trust
|
We had between us
|
I guess that you, never played by the rules
|
|
Can you tell me
|
|
Tell me why, oh why
|
Did we end up this way
|
When we tried, we tried
|
To make everything okay (we tried, we tried again)
|
Tell me why, oh why (yes we did)
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay
|
When we could have stayed together
|
(you felt you couldn't stay, but you wanted it this way)
|
But you wanted it this way
|
|
Tell me why, oh why (oh tell me why)
|
Did we end up this way
|
When we tried, we tried (we always tried again)
|
To make everything okay (we always tried again)
|
Tell me why, oh why (somebody tell me why)
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay
|
When we could have stayed together
|
But you wanted it this way (you wanted this way)
|
|
Tell me why, oh why (whoa-oh tell me why)
|
Did we end up this way (yeah-yeah-yeah)
|
When we tried, we tried
|
To make everything okay
|
Tell me why, oh why
|
Did you feel you couldn't stay
|
When we could have stayed together
|
But you wanted it this way
