Tell Me Why

But you wanted it this way
And we try, we try

But we could have stayed together
Tell me why, oh why
But you wanted it this way

But you wanted it this way
That's without me
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
But we could have stayed together
To try and use me
Will never be as good as what you had with me
Tell me why, oh why
And we try, we try
Will never be as good as what you had with me
Did we end up this way?

What made you think
But you wanted it this way
That I would find out

Did you feel you couldn't stay?
Tell me why, oh why
To make everything okay

No matter what
Did we end up this way?
Ooh
Now tell me was it
Decided to
Now where is the trust

Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
And we try, we try
What made you think
All of the things you said about us
To make everything okay
It started a team
Your plan all along
We had between us
Your hopes and dreams
Erase all our plans and said you are through
But we could have stayed together
Your life would be so much better but now you see
You never thought
But you turned your back
To make everything okay
Tell me why, oh why
We could have had it all
Tell me why, oh why
Did we end up this way?
To make everything okay
Tell me why, oh why
Tell me why, oh why
Tell me why, oh why
That's without me
I guess that you never played by the rules
To make everything okay
And we try, we try
But we could have stayed together
Did we end up this way?
Did we end up this way?
That without me
When you're the one who
But you wanted it this way
It started with dreams
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
Tell me why, oh why
(Can you tell me?)
And we try, we try
You promised to love
But you weren't as true as you always seem

Did you feel you couldn't stay?

But we could have stayed together
Your hopes and dreams
Did you feel you couldn't stay?
But we could have stayed together
Did we end up this way?
So tell me why, oh why
Your life would be so much better than now you see
Tell me why, oh why
That without me
Tell me why, oh why
And then let go
To make everything okay
And we try, we try
