There's an image painted in my mind
That's cruel to the eye
It's you holding another
Leaving me wondering why I walked away
When you were all wanted in my life
Why did I lie?
Why did I tell you, loving you wasn't what I felt
When it's all I still feel?
Why did I speak so cruel
And let you believe those words
That tore through your soul
And broke me in two?
Why did I lie?
I can't breathe easy
There's no air here
And I can't sleep at night
I can't dream without you here by my side
There's just no air without you here
Curse me
Tell me you don't love me anymore
Need me like I need you
Tell me I caused you too much pain
And I'll walk away
But tell me, why did I lie?
Why did I tell you goodbye?
Why did I look you in eye and speak those words?
Why did I let you believe
When it tore me in two?
Why did I lie?
It's cruel to the eye
Watching you holding another
I see how she makes you smile
Loving what was once mine
And I can't help but cry
Cause I lied
Baby, I won't forget
No I won't
I don't know why I walked away
Leaving behind the one I was looking to find
I want you back in my life
That's all I'm breathing for
Just tell me why. . .
