WHY CAN'T I LET YOU GO

But I also remember that day
when through my tear-filled eyes,
I kissed your cheek one last time
and said my final good-bye.

Because now I know
all the things you told me
were nothing but twisted lies.
And as my heart still aches
all I can do is wonder why.

Why did you lie to me
when you knew you'd tear my world apart?

Why did you make me fall in love,
only to break my heart?

Why was it that my love for you
was never good enough?

Why was it that you said "everything will be ok"
whenever things were tough?

Why, when you wanted someone else,
you didn't let me know?

And why is it so hard, after all these things,
for me to let you go?
