tell me why
tell me why you had to leave (why)
couldn't you just talk to me
(cos) baby girl you left so fast
(that i) think i got stuck in the past
(and i) keep on crying baby
and i keep on lying to myself
and i keep on denying baby
that you could be in love with someone else
tell me why, why, why did i try
to hold on for so long
tell me why can't i see that you're gone
won't you tell me, tell me why
baby i don't understand what's happening
by now i thought that we'd be living the life
and baby girl what happened to the passion
you know i never see that look in your eyes
and what about the promises and plans that we made (they're gone)
do you just up and wanna throw them away
and tell me is there anything that i can say
is there anyway that we can be saved
tell me why you had to leave (why)
couldn't you just talk to me
(cos) baby girl you left so fast (so fast)

but i guess i was wrong
