(Billy Dean/Lee Satterfield)

Been trying to see things through your eyes
Been walking in your shoes all night
Still I find myself asking why you had to go

Well I never questioned you
But now that I've thought it through
There's one thing I have got to know

How could you walk away
Have you nothing left to say
Does your heart just shut down
When you tell it to
How can I understand
What goes on inside a man
Leaving love behind
Is something I could never do
How could you

If you told me your love had died
'Cause it was weaker than your pride
I could take what was left of mine and start again

What I felt was pure and true
And I know you felt it too
So if it was real and not pretend
Tell me then

How could you walk away
Have you nothing left to say
Does your heart just shut down
When you tell it to
How can I understand
What goes on inside a man
Leaving love behind
Is something I could never do
How could you

How can I understand
What goes on inside a man
Leaving love behind
Is something I could never do
How could you
