Lyrics
It's only been a week since you Said I wasn't the one, huh But it feels like more 'cause without you Time don't fly, it don't even run
Why? Why? Why? Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye? Why? Why? Why? After everything we've been through Is this how it ends? With a goodbye? Just a thing of the past, a thing that you leave behind
Just a thing that you leave Unless you didn't mean it Say what you mean I'll be there if you provide that for me You don't need to be sad or sorry I need an answer, I'm right here I need it, I'm dyin', baby
Gave you the best of me And you got the better of me, baby Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Uh, yeah) Now they're mine I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
Why? Why? Why? Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye? Why? Why? Why? After everything we've been through Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
Time doesn't heal all wounds I don't care what they say (I don't care what they say) When it's me and you, I can make my own rules The rules that we play by (The rules that we play) But I won't let myself ever play the fool If it's you, who I'm fooled by So I need an answer I need it, I'm dyin', baby
Gave you the best of me And you got the better of me, baby Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Yeah, uh) Now they're mine I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
Why? Why? Why? (Why? Why? Why? Why?) Is this all I am to you? (Yeah) Is this all I am? A goodbye? (A goodbye?) Why? Why? Why? (Why?) After everything we've been through (We've been through) Is this how it ends? (Huh?) With a goodbye?
