Lyrics

Why?

And now , I know that I was wrong

You never really cared for me all along

And with you every dream I had

Was all it was , ain't that the fact

Chorus

So I hold my head deep in my hands

I'm lost at sea no sign of land

I never knew what love could cost

No-one could know how much I've lost

I can't go on now that you've gone

Theres nothing left inside

I'll never understand why you had to lie

It's not enough to say you love

And then just say goodbye

I'll never break these chains

Theres no where to hide

Why did you have to lie?

And now that every hope has gone

I've got to find the strength to carry on

Alone , much more than before

I've given everything , theres nothing more

Chorus

Why does it hurt so much when theres nothing I can do?

Why do I hate myself 'coz I can't stop loving you?

Now my life is empty

All I have is pain

I can't forget you

Why couldn't you have stayed?

Why did you have to lie?
