Tell Me Why lyrics

Oooh

We could have had it all

But you turned your back

We started with dreams

We started a team

But you weren't as true as you always seemed

You promised to love

No matter what

Yet you turned your back and walked out on me

What made you think

That without me

Your life would be so much better but now you see (oh-oh, but now you see)

That without me

Your hopes and dreams (your hopes and your dreams)

Will never be as good as what you had with me

Tell me why, oh why (so tell me why)

Did we end up this way

When we tried, we tried (we tried)

To make everything okay (oooh)

Tell me why, oh why

Did you feel you couldn't stay

When we could have stayed together

But you wanted it this way

You never thought

That I would find out

All of the things you said about us

When you're the one who

Decided to

Erase all our plans and say you approved

What made you think

That without me

Your life would be so much better but now you see (so much

better, but now you see)

That without me (without me)

Your hopes and dreams (they will never)

Will never be as good as what you had with me (had with me)

Tell me why, oh why (tell me why)

Did we end up this way (did we end up this why)

When we tried, we tried (when we tried)

To make everything okay (yes we did)

Tell me why, oh why

Did you feel you couldn't stay (did you feel you couldn't stay)

When we could have stayed together (we could have stayed)

But you wanted it this way

Tell me why, oh why (did we end up this way)

Did we end up this way (I thought it was okay)

When we tried, we tried

To make everything okay (we tried, tried, tried so hard)

Tell me why, oh why

Did you feel you couldn't stay (but it was you who wanted to leave)

When we could have stayed together

But you wanted it this way

Now tell me was it

Your plan all along

To try and use me, and then let go

Now where is the trust

We had between us

I guess that you, never played by the rules

Can you tell me

Tell me why, oh why

Did we end up this way

When we tried, we tried

To make everything okay (we tried, we tried again)

Tell me why, oh why (yes we did)

Did you feel you couldn't stay

When we could have stayed together

(you felt you couldn't stay, but you wanted it this way)

But you wanted it this way

Tell me why, oh why (oh tell me why)

Did we end up this way

When we tried, we tried (we always tried again)

To make everything okay (we always tried again)

Tell me why, oh why (somebody tell me why)

Did you feel you couldn't stay

When we could have stayed together

But you wanted it this way (you wanted this way)

Tell me why, oh why (whoa-oh tell me why)

Did we end up this way (yeah-yeah-yeah)

When we tried, we tried

To make everything okay

Tell me why, oh why

Did you feel you couldn't stay

When we could have stayed together

But you wanted it this way
