lyrics

Tell Me Why

You said you would leave me never
You said you would be with me forever

I'm not your dead-end job
I'm not your albatross
I'm not your setting sun
I'm not your...

Tell me why
Why did you leave me?
Tell me why
Why can't you see me?
Tell me why
Why don't you need me?
Tell me why
Why can't you see how I feel?

Walking down the street I'm thinking 'bout you
Walking down the street I'm wondering what to do,
Without you

I see a star - wonder where you are
I see your glare - my heart tears
I see the sun - thinking we had fun

So tell me why
Why did you leave me?
Tell me why
Why don't you need me?
Tell me why
Why can't you see me?
Tell me why
Why can't you see...

I'm not your dead-end job
I'm not your albatross
I'm not your setting sun
I'm not your...
