Why?

She sits all alone,
waiting for the phone, to ring.
But the silence drags on,
she waited too long, should have said something.
Now she's wondering what she saw,
all those months before.
she's looking back,
and she's thinkin'

[chorus]
why did he let me go?
If he never loved me then why'd he tell me so?
Why, why, why?
Why did i believe the lies?
why was i so slow to recognize,
the lies, the truths and the smiles that he leaves me with now...
why?

He's waiting for her to stop,
when will she give up, on him?
she was the one who wrote their ending,
who is she defending? he don't wanna hear anything.
Now he's wondering what he saw,
all those months before,
he's looking back,
and he's thinkin'

[chorus]
why did she let me go?
If she never loved me then why'd she tell me so?
Why, why, why?
Why did i believe the lies?
why was i so slow to recognize,
the lies, the truths and the smiles that she leaves me with now...
why?

[bridge]
why when they're both thinking the same thing,
do neither wanna hear anything, the other's got to say?
why do they make it worse?
why can't they seem to converse now it's over, just coz she couldn't stay?
He won't say, that it's OK.
and though they've both moved on,
they still both listen to their song.

and they're thinkin'

[chorus]
why did she let me go?
If he never loved me then why'd he tell me so?
Why, why, why?
Why did i believe the lies?
why was i so slow to recognize,
the lies, the truths and the smiles that she leaves me with now...
that he leaves me with now...
Why?
