Lyrics

I think I've lost the reason to keep going
(Why, why, why?)
I saw her face without that smile upon
(Why, why, why?)
This is the cruelest thing I've ever done
(Why, why, why?)
'Cause I didn't know I was hurting her

Just tell me why you're goin' away
Why won't you let me stay?
I know, it was my bad
Why don't you let me explain?

From one day to the next, you changed my world
(Why, why, why?)
You believed all the shit that you've been told
(Why, why, why?)
This is the cruelest thing you've ever done
(Why, why, why?)
'Cause you didn't know I was loving you!

Just tell me why you're going away
Why won't you let me stay?
I know, it was my bad
Why don't you let me explain?

Why, why, why?
Why, why, why?

Just tell me why you're going away
Why won't you let me stay?
I know, it was my bad
Why don't you let me explain?

Why, why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why?
