Tell Me Why

I gave you pieces no one's seen
Built my world on what we dreamed
Held your hand through every storm
Now I'm standing here alone, torn
You said forever like a vow
So what's forever now?
Was I the only one who tried
While you already said goodbye?

I'm not asking you to stay
But don't just walk away
I don't want your sympathy
Just honesty, finally

Tell me why
Why'd you break a heart that loved you right?
Why'd you leave without a fight?
Why was I the one who cried
While you slept through the night?
Tell me why
Why'd we turn into goodbye?
Was it something that I missed?
Or someone else you kissed?
I don't need a lullaby
I just need you to
Tell me why

You moved on like we were smoke
But I'm still choking on your ghost
You smiled like we were just a phase
But I still replay all our yesterdays
You owe me more than just your silence
More than echoes, more than absence
If it was all pretend to you
Why did it feel so damn true?

I'm not asking you to stay
But don't just walk away
I don't want your sympathy
Just honesty, finally

Tell me why
Why'd you break a heart that loved you right?
Why'd you leave without a fight?
Why was I the one who cried
While you slept through the night?
Tell me why
Why'd we turn into goodbye?
Was it something that I missed?
Or someone else you kissed?
I don't need a lullaby
I just need you to
Tell me why

Tell me why
Why'd you shatter what we built with pride?
Why'd you watch me fall inside?
Why'd you vanish in the dark
And leave your name burned on my heart?
Tell me why
Was I blind or just naive?
Were you always gonna leave?
Don't feed me some goodbye line
Look me in the eyes
Tell me why

Was I just a lesson learned?
Another match you let burn?
You owe me closure, not a lie
So if you ever cared
Tell me why

Tell me why
Why'd you break a heart that loved you right?
Why'd you leave without a fight?
Why was I the one who cried
While you slept through the night?
Tell me why
Why'd we turn into goodbye?
Was it something that I missed?
Or someone else you kissed?
I don't need a lullaby
I just need you to
Tell me why

Tell me why
Why'd you tear this love apart?
Why'd you rip out both our hearts?
If you were done, then why pretend
That this was something you'd defend?
Tell me why
You left and I'm still here
Drowning in the atmosphere
I don't need your alibi
I just need the truth
Tell me why
