Oh Why Oh Why
It took you quite a while to see
Just exactly
What you did to me
You could not open up your eyes
Cuz for years
You'd been blinded
By your own lies
And I ain't never
Felt this way before
So alone, so alone
And wonderin what for
Weren't you the one that up and left
Though I did you wrong
Didn't you tell me I'm the best
I know I might not be perfect
I made mistakes
But who doesn't
And I don't deserve it
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
What happened
Once we promised forever
Who did what to who first
And now we're not together
It never depended on whether
I did you right or did you wrong
Or on that lie, that curse
It depended on how
Much you could control me
So when I said I had enough
You left me here
Broken, hopeless, and livin solely
On emptiness and ackwardness
So.... love, love, love
Could you have at least once
Not faked it
Meant what you said,
Kept a promise,
Never to break it
For a while,
I could barely take it
But now... love, love, love
Matters not
And... neither do you
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
I think maybe of all the words
You told me
Nothing mattered less
Than that curse of a word
And no moment mattered less
Than when you'd hold me
So hold on to something else
And remember
Every time you're lonely yourself
That he ain't half of what I am
And he can't love you like I can
Or like I could have
How I always meant to and tried to
And if you'd have let me
How I would have
So... love, love, love
Love, love, love
I don't believe it
If you ask me again
I could leave it
It's a lie
That someone once started
To tell the innocent
And the brokenhearted
So why even try
A four letter word
So venomous, a curse
Of all untruths, the worst
Oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Why do I ever try
Why did I believe your lies
Oh tell me.... why
