Tell me why you had to leave
Why couldn't you just talk to me
Cause 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
Cause baby girl you left so fast (so fast)
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

Tell me why you left me girl
I thought that you would stay
Never thought that you would be
The one to up and runaway (runaway)
Baby won't you come back to me
Thought we could work out anything
But I guess I was wrong
Now you're gone and it's killing me

I guess I gotta move on and be strong without you (without you)
I'll carry on but I'll still care about you

But 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

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Won't you tell me, tell me why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Won't you tell me, tell me why

Tell me why you left me girl
I thought that you would stay
Never thought that you would be
The one to up and runaway (runaway)
Baby won't you come back to me
Thought we could work out anything
But I guess I was wrong
Now you're gone and it's killing me
I guess I gotta move on and be strong without you
I'll carry on but I'll still care about you
